Question:
Moogs are surrounding my bench and are closing in. I have dispatched two of their leaders called Memory, sending them to that form of tech nirvana called "Completed." Yet there are more. They have brought allies named Micro and Mini and Prodigy. They advance slowly, yet their numbers increase daily. There’s a Thomas-Organ-Vox Royal Guardsman I want on my bench, but the Moogs move to intercept. Occasionally they refuse to get out of the way, attacking with new symptoms. These are deceptive and cunning opponents who defy my efforts to create musical sounds, but which do eventually yield to our superior technology. Their interface remains arcane. But I need not play them to conquer them. Only force them to submit to the commands of the control panel. Once the matrix complies with the will of Demux (who is supreme among their gods) others may tame them and extract the cool noises within. It is a grim battle, but I am confident of victory. Ron Maybe the vintage amp market is soft, but the analog synth guys are still busy.
Response:
Try not to go to hell Ron. You certainly don’t want to spend eternity surrounded by broken Moogs that you have to fix by the weekend. And every time you get them fixed, there’d be more.

Are you going to sell the Robert Moogs or repair them for customers? Parker

I was attacked by Farfisas’ two years ago, they started turning into furniture here (there wasn’t anywhere else to sit!), after six months the fever broke. I’ve tried to immunize myself by using certain key phrases over the telephone, like "$500 to start", it sees to be working. -Robert – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Are you going to sell the Robert Moogs or repair them for customers? > These are all customer pieces. > Ron >Parker >> Try not to go to hell Ron.

Hey Pete, I’ve noticed you quote or reffer to Zappa a few times before. I was a huge fan of Zappa for years and have a bunch of his music (on vinyl) even a few things that were not released for distribution! I can still recite the lyric’s to songs I haven’t listened to in years. Saw him twice in concert and as hard as it is to beleive, the songs were performed pretty much note for note! The musicians he hired were always great. John King – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Try not to go to hell Ron.

When I saw Ron’s post, the first thing I thought was how he must be in Moog Hell. That’s what’s the deal we’re dealing in. Yeah, Frank was a monster. Great band leader too I guess. He always had incredible musicians in his band. And there was all sorts of them who got their careers by having worked with Frank. Terry Bozio for example. That New York album, that was originally released on vinyl before he approved it, and he got pissed and left the record company as a result? He put together a 2 CD set of different takes of those songs, recorded on different days. Well, I own both versions. They’re both great too. But when you hear them both, you realize that there was a certain amount of improvising involved, but for the most part, everything was all orchestrated out. And you realize how much work went into those performances. Those guys are so much better than I am, that it’s embarrassing. I could never have been in a Zappa band. See, you’re ok John, until you can’t get to sleep because you start thinking "We are the other people, We are the other people, We are the other people, You’re the other people too". Then you know you’re in trouble. Pete

I’ve never taken the time to look up what Lowell George actually did with Zappa, but I do remember the story about how Zappa was the one that suggested the Lowell go out on his own. I know he was never in a Zappa band, but Zappa is rather instrumental in helping launch Alice Cooper’s career. I think the story was that Zappa realized that anyone who had the ability to clear the house of his entire audience probably had a great deal of potential. Pete

Nah, that was the fellow who managed AC. Zappa was given the job of trying to produce a record for them. It didn’t work for anybody on any level. Zappa saw it as a novelty act. Ron
