Wiard is greatly saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Robert Moog.

Mere words fail to discribe my admiration for the man who created an era.

My deepest sympathies are with his family and friends in their time of grief.

whoa!

i wonder how many of us dialed Big Briar/Moog Music and heard a
rapid-fire "Big Briar, Bob speaking-" in that quick NYC accent, and
then were astonished to realize that Bob friggin' MOOG was on the the
other end of the line and, even more astonished that he didn't seem to
be in any particular hurry to get off the call.

In my experience, Dr.Moog was generous to a fault, with his time, and
his formidable knowledge of elecronics and music. He lived in the
fullest way possible because he never stopped learning , changing, and
evolving. (if you seek proof of this, read his introduction to the
book "Analog Days by T. Pinch & F. Trocco)

The loss of such a vital, creative man leaves a vast crater in the
landscape of our community and leaves a magnificent gleaming silver
and black hole in my heart.

Requiescat In Pace, Doctor
and eternal thanks for that huge panorama of beautiful knobs

Bob wasn't just an inventor - he was a diplomat for ALL electronic
music, made on ANY synthesizer, played by ANYONE.

In a real sense, it is the end of an era.  Electronic music and
musicians have lost their advocate.
