Moog just posted an all-star art and tech panel; all that and an Oberheim

It’s not every day you get to see this lineup – Moog Music meets the Bob Moog Foundation with Michelle Moog-Koussa, Lisa Bella Donna, Suzanne Ciani, Brian Kehew, Steve Dunnington, King Britt, and Rory Kaplan. Moog just posted the video from NAMM last month. And speaking of the Moog Foundation, they’ve also got a big raffle going – and, surprise, it’s for an Oberheim synth, not a Moog.
