I would absolutely LOVE to be involved. Here's the real question..
Why not do a proper documentary? The story has everything- and is bookended (to date) by tales of technical wizardry by Precision Mystics working miracles in sheds.
I've been talking to a film maker friend of mine- who's seen the Moog and Theremin films- and she agrees. Done properly it would be a splendid piece of work.
Yes, you're right about the need for a complete textbook style publication along the lines of 'Beauty in the B'- Mark Vail's Hammond guide.
Gino! Ask away regarding Farfisa Compacts.
Love and Scones,
Fotheringay Mangles-Moog R.N. (Ret'd.)

> OK, it is time for us complainers to write a book. It should be a textbook because the story is half technical and half pop chronicle. To be sensible I suggest as executive editor M. Smith (aka document dump), Technical editor and historian J. Bradley. Extend the ever growing appendix, bibliography and photos (AV) onto a website and CD.
