I was immensely saddened to read of the death of Robert Moog today.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/4696651.stm

He was a major influence on my early music tastes; I've still got my copy of the original vinyl Walter/Wendy Carlos' Switched-on Bach LP. Without him, music today would be very different.

Thank you, Robert, for enriching my life.

As I read the article, I suddenly realized the music I'm listening to was probably performed on a Moog synthesizer, courtesy of ELP.
The sound lives on! Smile

My proud Wendy Carlos collaboration is Peter & The Wolf / Carnival Of The Animals with "Weird Al" Yankovic. I have it on both LP and CD.

Yes, a sad day for music.
