heres your neat little 313 fact for the day:
when robert moog and his partner, deutsch (creators of the moog) went their seperate ways deutsch recieved ownership of the ORIGINAL prototype of the moog.
It was actually deutsch's idea to put a keyboard on the machine, he was a music teacher and knew that a keyboard (though many "experts" said including a keyboard was stupid)was needed if it was ever to be taken up by the musician market.
Anyways, After the original sat in the Uni he was at, collecting dust. He said that students were intimidated by the machine, so it just sat there.Deutsche wanted to donate the moog to a museum. He shopped it around to museums all over the country and the Ford museum was the only one really interested, and knew the inventions worth.By this time, the moog had taken off and bands such as the Rolling Stones and Beatles ordered their own. The Ford Museum was so thrilled they asked Deutsche to do one more performance on the original before it went to museum land. You can see the original Moog at the Ford Museum.
