moogy blues


I start teaching classes tomorrow. Am I ready? That would be a resounding NO! Think happy thoughts between the hours of 10 & 12 and 2 & 4.

My little sister started her blog today. I'm so proud of her. Blog, Polly, blog!

Robert Moog died yesterday

Hey Whiff, I started today. Didn't feel that I should hsve been ready.... and I was right. Have a good kick-off to the new school year!

Cool that your sis is blogging now!

p.s. I only found out lately that "moog" should sound like "vogue"... huh?

Oh sure. You just want it to rhyme with rogue!

Seriously, I read it in a news story. Here's the actual quote from the story.

"A childhood interest in the theremin, one of the first electronic musical instruments, would lead Moog -- whose name rhymes with vogue -- to create a business that tied his name as tightly to synthesizers as the name Les Paul is to electric guitars."

Actually it kinda popped my bubble when I read that. What??? For years I Loved saying "Mooooog"... pulling it out long was a fun thing for me. RP once had a licence plate that read "Mr. Moog." Then I find out that I was saying it wrong all these years... it felt like... like... 6 years ago when I discovered that Santa... didn't really drink Coke.
