I like the longing and lusting as much as the holding-in-hand part.

Because that's when I get inventive and do something that nobody else is doing. Which is when anyone comes up with new ideas - including everyone working at Moog today.

There's imagination out there and I prefer that to curating a museum of old dusty instruments with decaying bits :)

I like the dreaming of the new, and I think that's what we need more of: new breakthrough instrument designs. Which is what the original Moog stuff was.

Breakthrough, but also so darn practical. It just made sense when you put your hands on a Minimoog.

the best bit for me in the movie "It Might Get Loud" is when Jimmy Page is playing the Thermin. Wicked.

That's what we need more of. Stuff like a Moog Thermin hooked up to an Echoplex played by a guitarist.

The Moogerfooger pedals are one step in the right direction.

i also enoyed when Jimmy was playing air-guitar to Link Wray's Rumble..."now he's starting to increase the vibrato..."
