I don’t have the attention span to watch the whole thing at once, but I watched the Moog section last night. Pretty good stuff. I heard Deutsch tell some of the same stories last March at Cornell but that’s okay, didn’t mind hearing them again.

imagine what a different world it would be if Herbert Deutsch had not pushed Robert Moog in the direction of making a small playable synthesizer .
