Help preserve Moog’s legacy

From a music mailing list:

the Bob Moog Memorial Foundation needs help preserving Moog’s warehouse of mildew damaged papers, instruments and tapes and is begging for donations to help move the materials to a safer storage location and to start restoring them.

Moog was the brilliant gent who remodeled the synthesizer so that it could be more easily used and become more accessible to musicians around the world.  He was also one of the world’s greatest theremin crafters and a helluva nice guy.  I had the pleasure to interview him at PSF here.
