I have just gotten my feet back under me after the longest most intense flu of my life.   I really thought i was going to die.   I was pretty sure at one point it had moved on to pneumonia.    Anyway, I knew I was ready to come back to work when I had the energy to sit at my workbench and restore a vintage Moog Rogue synthesizer.   

Today at lunch I was explaining to Phil and Mat how Moog is not pronounced MOOOOOG, but M OH G, like with a long O.    Then Mat wanted to know how to pronounce Moogerfooger, which is the name of a real device currently in production from the company.   Is it Mohgerfohger?   “I don’t know,” I told him.  I just know that Dr. Moog, rest his soul, pronounced his own name with a long O and most of the rest of the world does not, probably causing him to roll over in his grave regularly.   

Here’s a link to the public gallery on my Facebook.
