"August 21, 2010: Fifth Anniversary Tribute
Written and Visual Reflections from Musicians, Colleagues and Family on the Fifth Anniversary of Bob's Passing
Tomorrow, August 21st, will mark the fifth anniversary of Bob Moog's passing. Today we pause to Reflect, Share, Listen and Thank through four very special posts dedicated to the occasion.
Reflect: Ileana Grams-Moog, Bob's widow, has posted a reflection about Bob and the importance of giving in our every day lives.
See Ileana's post here and leave your own reflection below her post.
Share: Seva David Ball, Grammy nominated audio engineer and the preservationist working on transferring the reel-to-reel tapes from the Bob Moog Foundation Archive, shares his first encounter with the Moog synthesizer.
Read Seva's "What is That Thing and Where Can I Get One?" post here.
Listen: We searched the archives for some rarely seen photos to share today and we found a wonderful series of three snapshots of Bob that speak to the core of his work ethic: Reflect. Share. Listen.
View these rare photos of Bob here.
Thank: We also found a wonderful image of Christoper Franke (Tangerine Dream), which was sent to Bob almost 40 years ago. On the photo, Christopher wrote a short message to Bob, which summarizes our sentiment today.
Check out the very cool photo of Christopher here.
Many thanks to all of you who have sent in kind words regarding the anniversary date, and to all of you who have lent your support to the Bob Moog Foundation over the past four years. We are grateful for your dedication and we are honored to be working with you to carry Bob's legacy forward.
