Subject: Moog on History Channel

From: Bill Sautter <sautter@...>

FYI... A program called "History's Lost & Found" aired afew days ago on the history channel (I don't know if it's aired before orif/when it will again).  It included a segment on Bob Moog's veryfirst synth. from 1964, built over a 2-week period in late 1963 with HerbDeutsch. Both Bob & Herb were interviewed. The original unit wasbread-boarded, had the old hand-pressed sticky-labels, and used adouble-manual keyboard hacked from an organ. The segment talked aboutHerb not being able to donate or sell the original Moog unit over theyears. Finally, the Ford Museum (as in Motor Co.) in Deerborn, MIaccepted it for their musical instrument section in the late '90s.
