Chances are if you've heard any music, ever, you've heard Robert Moog's creation: the Moog synthesizer. Moog (rhymes with "vogue") was born in New York City, attended the Bronx High School of Science Queens College, Columbia, and Cornell, and would have been 78 years old today (he died in 2005). As a tribute, today's Google Doodle features a mini Moog that allows you to play, record, and share a composition. It certainly beats putting clothes on a turkey.
For the purest saturation of Moog, head down to Moogfest in Ashville, North Carolina in the fall—we have it on good authority that stuff gets weird down there (good weird). Enjoy these tunes that prominently feature the fruit of Dr. Moog's labors.
