[sdiy] Famous Gene?

[Tim Parkhurst]

Excerpt from an interview with ELP keyboard tech Will Alexander
>From http://www.keithemerson.com/techtalk.html

******************************
(TD)So the Moog was retired for ten years. What brought it out of
retirement?

Keith feels it's an icon in the keyboard world. Even today it has a sense of
mystery. People come up and look at it and they don't care about the
technology. They could care less about samplers and synths, but they look at
that Moog and say, "Wow!" When I got the Moog it was in pretty bad shape. It
hadn't been used. There was lots of corrosion on all the contacts and
modules didn't work. I have a friend named ***Gene Stopp*** who is also a
Moog enthusiast, so we brought it into my living room for eight months.

Gene? Gene Stopp who writes to us mere mortals on Synth DIY? I'm impressed!
What a great story to be able to tell at SDIY meetings. :)
