"Since the Bob Moog Foundation's launch, we have received several stories about Dad and his work, and original music featuring Moog instruments. I thank everyone who submitted and invite everyone else to read the stories and listen to the music.Please keep the music and stories coming. We love hearing how Dad touched peoples lives and ultimately that is what the Foundation is all about- touching lives through innovation and creativity.
Moog Lives! Rock on!
Sincerely,
Michelle Moog-Koussa
Director, The Bob Moog Foundation
Below are excerpts from three of our favorite stories about Bob and his inventions. The link below will let you see all the stories in there entirety.
"I am a composer today in part because of the inspiration his instruments provided me. He was, in many ways, the father of all contemporary electronic musicians, and his memory and work will live on forever."
Richard Lainhart
"Ha! When we first put out the Minimoog (1970/71) the stores told us "Keyboard players will never buy this, as they are NOT technical people at all. Guitarists and drummers have their hardware and gadgets to use, but keyboard players only use a piano and organ - they are not TECHNICAL!" Boy - things sure did change!"
Brian Kehew
"Today, I can't claim any successes in the music world and can hardly believe what I had on tape was considered good by any measure, but it was the experience of the time that counted. It gave me depth and experience that carries forward to the professional world. Bob Moog became one of the few people who I could actually call a hero. "
