Bob Moog the creator of the unmistakable sounding MOOG Oscillator Synth was featured in an interactive Google Doodle to celebrate his 78th Birthday today. Google impressed me a few weeks back when they featured NYC Disco artists Keith Harring a couple of weeks ago but this topped that with a pretty cool functioning Moog emulator that you can still check out HERE.
Also check out this Red Bull Music Lecture with Bob Moog from Capetown as he discusses a very interesting background on how he came about inventing the Moog and how it first taken up with musicians.
