Well, well, well - quite the summer has passed.
I traveled through 12 states with my dog Scout, visited some old friends, made some new friends, and am now watching the movie known as “what in the name of sam hell is going on with the financial markets and why are these rich and grasping [...]
Moog unveils new guitar with infinite sustain
6500.00 dollars means I won’t be buying this anytime soon, but it sounds cool. I have a monophonic analog Moog source synthesizer that I love.
