<< Hey Lee! Ever see a copy of the late sixties Moog synthesizer release
called  "Country Moog"? It did not have the guy/woman? Walter Wendy
Carlos playing  it. He/she was about the only musician that could play
it right, other than  its inventor. Just look how far the synthesizer
has come? >>

Yes, I have it in my collection.  There were two very prolific Moog
artists in Nashville - Gil  Trythall and Rick Powell.

Gil's albums were entirely Moog.  He synthesized country instruments and
the albums were very entertaining.

Rick did two types of sessions - All Moog and Moog accompanied by the
Nashville "A" team players as the rhythm section. Rick's recordings were
incredible.

I personally knew Rick and considered him  one of my best friends.  He
was an accomplished arranger and guitarist and a producer as well.  We
lost Rick this year to cancer.

I went to Ithica NY to train to program the Moog when I was at Woodland
Sound Studios.  I was the staff "Moog guy" and programmed the instrument
for clients who wanted to use it on projects.  I did a few wierd
recordings on my own - " Moog 4 X" and "The Outer Orbital Freeway"
(using an eventide Harmonizer).

I'm pretty sure that you could find the Moog albums at the Great Escape
in Nashville - and if not, I could copy my LPs to CDs since these
records are out of print for over 30 years.

Good Luck !

Lee
