It was only in the past year that I learned his name is pronounced as rhyming with "vogue," rather than rhyming with "frug."

The sound alone propelled the careers of Wendy Carlos, Dick Hyman, Keith Emerson, and countless others.  I suggest someone dig up "The Minotaur" by Dick Hyman off his "Moog" album in the late 60's.  There's archetypal for ya!

Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

First Moog on a rock record: The Monkees, "Daily Nightly" (played by Micky Dolenz) and "Star Collector" (played by Paul Beaver) on the album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd..
