Last evening, I sat down at the piano. For the first time in many years, I attempted to read music. My fingers were rusty, but after a few clumsy songs it began to come back to me. It was fun, though I am glad there was no audience!
This morning, a different type of keyboard was on my mind. I read with sadness about the death of Bob Moog this week. His synthesizers spawned the birth of electronic music. He was the Les Paul of keyboards. Much has been written about him and his influence on music. As a kid, I remember my dad always pointing out the Moog synthesizers in whatever song we were listening to.
I’m wishing now that I had time to go to Moog’s memorial service today in Asheville. The organ music should be out of this world.
Look at you, Mr. “I’m so cool I’m quoted in the N&O Blogs”.
I didn’t expect such a short entry to make it to the Blogwatch. Perhaps I have a knack for distilling issues down to the essence. That, or it was a slow news, er, “blog day.” 🙂
Regardless, welcome to the N&O blog readers! I hope you’ll visit often. Every now and then I have something interesting to say.
