Dear fellow Moog & synth afficiandos,
You are receiving this because we have had past dealings on Moog & synth matters (or you're on a Moog-related newsgroup to which I subscribe). It is a 1-time message, so no need to "opt-out" if you're not interested. That said, if you're a Moog & synth lover like I am, then I can't think of a more worthy cause to consider supporting financially or otherwise...

I was invited by Michelle Moog-Koussa & Laura Moog to attend the Moog Foundation Advisory Board meeting after the Moog Symposium in NYC week before last (which preceded the excellent MoogFest4 on 9/22).

Bob's "archives" that were discovered in several locations after his passing were one of the topics of conversation. They are extensive, and because he didn't store a lot if it in climate-controlled environments, some pieces have mold and/or deterioration, but many others are okay. The cataloging, preservation and restoration (as need be) of "Dr. Bob's" archives is EXTREMELY important to the Foundation & family.

We're excited that Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins has committed to support the project! http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/corgan%20setting%20up%20moog%20museum_1045678

The Moog Foundation needs to raise funds for the restoration & preservation of the Moog archives, among their other stated goals of endowing academic scholarships, music education and expansion of Moog & synth-related concerts around the world. If you would like to donate -- or know any deep-pocketed friends, relatives, corporations or foundations -- then please do so at: www.moogfoundation.org

P.S. Does anyone have a photo of the Beatles or Rolling Stones playing their Moog modulars? If so, please email them to me, so I can pass them on to the Foundation.

Thanks,
Bill

One would think the company currently in business using Moog's name
would be willing to fund this...

They do provide support for the Foundation, but not the whole thing.
