"We are pleased to announce our guest of honor for this year is Gil Trythall.
Gil TrythallGil was responsible for one of the most unique contributions of the Moog records craze of the late 1960s. His Switched-On Nashville album is singular among Moog-driven pop records due to both its country and bluegrass source material and the total focus on the Moog synthesiser itself, in contrast with its contemporaries’ method of combining the system with traditional session instrumentalists. But he didn’t stop there. His textbook, Principles and Practice of Electronic Music, is one of the few books that elegantly bridges the worlds of tape music and voltage control synthesis.
Join us Saturday Evening for our annual Golden Knob banquet featuring our esteemed guest of honor Gil Trythall. Enjoy live music by the Knobcon Supper Club All Stars featuring Ed & Judy Howard and Cory Flanigan.
The $50 admission is an add-on to your Knobcon ticket and includes a catered buffet with vegetarian options, and each ticket is an entry into the door prize drawings."
Update via Suit & Tie Guy in the comments:
"Here's a great track from Switched-On Country (Nashville Gold). It's a cover of 'Folsom Prison Blues' which also happens to be the earliest known recording of Moog through a talkbox. I'll leave the details to his appearance at Knobcon!:"

"FOLSOM PRISON BLUES - GIL TRYTHALL (1970)
If 'The Ledge' Legendary Stardust Cowboy is 'Cow Punk' then Gil is Stetson Techno.
This is a strange odyssey take using the Moog Synthesizer. Gil was a techno expert tutor."
Not sure if this comes through, but here's a great track from Switched-On Country (Nashville Gold). It's a cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" which also happens to be the earliest known recording of Moog through a talkbox. I'll leave the details to his appearance at Knobcon!:
