For the Love of Moog

By Dan Trudeau on Sunday, March 25, 2007.

If you're of a certain age, you may remember that brand new sound senation the Moog Synthesizer.

It was the rage for a while in the late 1960s and 70s, used by many of the popular bands, from the Beatles to Pink Floyd to Emerson Lake and Palmer.

But as technology improved, the old analogue Moog found itself gathering dust in studios and closets, and the company that built them went bankrupt.

But one New Hampshire man just couldn't get the sound of synths out of his head and founded the New England Synthesizer Museum in Nashua.

Reporter Dan Trudeau visited the museum and has this story.
