join the club!

When the Minimoog finally, finally made it over the big pond into our 
humble local music stores (even) salesguys weren't entirely sure how to 
pronounce it.
"Moog" is also a more or less common name in the german speaking area.
(we had an actor, Heinz Moog:

Back then I was proud to know how english speaking people say "oo".

Well ... until a couple of years ago I learned the truth.
Today I'm still fighting with that.

    Michael.

PS: regarding "Buchla" - I was always tempted to say it like german with 
english accent, like "Boocla" or so ... and now ... learning never 
stops!  ;-)
