I hope my directions are good.  The Moog was in a long case with other 
"technology" right as I started down the Gate E terminal.  If you are
on the moving sidewalk, you will probably miss it because it backs up to
the sidewalk.  I could not get around to see the back of the glass case
very well, unfortunately.

Also, I did know that Walter was Wendy.  I think that adds to the 
"Switched on Bach" mystique.  Think of all of the double meanings of
that title.  "Switched on" as in to "turn on" and "turning on" was what
the sixties were all about.  "Switched on" as in to change one's mind,
as in "Bach ain't so bad afterall" which some people probably thought,
or "Electronic music ain't so bad afterall" which some other people
probably thought.  Then there is Walter, who later made the ultimate
switch, to Wendy.  Finally, there is "SOB," the acronym which in English 
is short for sonnofabitch, which may be what some people thought of 
Walter when they heard what he had done.  Hopefully, some kid doing a 
Ph.D. in literary criticism and culture can get a degree out of it.
