I get this magazine called "Keyboard", and they had this article about Bob Moog and how he left a garage full of papers and schematics.
They talk about how it needs to be gone through and archived for posterity, and then they talk about (our very own!) Brian K! He's the key guy on this project. Famous, and for doing a good deed!
Way to go, Brian!

It's become a pet project. Bob Moog was a wonderful cool guy - find the DVD called "Moog" to see and learn. His family are slo great people and we're working hard to make his collection of paperwork and photos and recording have some new life - museum exhibits, CDs etc.

What a great project to be involved in - AND I've just realised I've got two of your CDs Brian by The Moog Cookbook!! What is amazing about The Beatles' use of the Moog is that they used it so perfectly in that they didn't let it overtake the Abbey Road project - in the hands of other artists it may have been used like a new toy rather than another instrument.

That IS amazing - almost everyone else who bought one made terrible OBVIOUS sounds with it. They kept it tasteful and simple. Now George's "Electronic Sound" LP is something else (I may be the only person to love that record!)
