Famous?  Me?  Well, maybe with the IRS, but thanks so much for this comment.
I will start speaking of myself in the third person immediately.

One thing I want to add though - Gary Chang is a really great guy. I've
known him since Cal Arts, a million years ago ,and he's not changed a bit.
But also know other guys who just met him but three months and he's the same
with everyone.  The guy's got a list of credits that will drop your jaw, but
he still contributes regularly on the Wiard and Buchla lists, he's
approachable, funny, and most important, his compositional and analog
programming chops are out of this world.  You should hear some of the stuff
he gets from his Waird.  Now, it's hard NOT to get things out of the Wiard
that sound great, but Gary is to programming what Julie Childs is to
cooking.  The guy's a wizard.

I think it's been mentioned that he also produced the upcoming Barry
Schrader analog CD, the Buchla one that should be hitting the streets in a
month or so. If you guys heard what these tapes sounded like after 30 years
of storage right off the digital transfer you'd flip. Gary outdid science on
this.

As a side note: minding the shameless plug and putting my now old art
director's hat on, I was fortunate enough to do the CD design for the
Schrader album.  So it looks good and sounds GREAT and four pages of the
booklet talk about the Buchla 200 and the Fortune Modules, replete with flow
charts and descriptions of Barry's patches.  It has pictures of the
instruments used, the whole nine.  It's like a synth geek's text book.
