What a sweet morning it is; chilly and sunny….coffee steam swirls around the studio and the machines wait for their morning zap from momma. Meanwhile, in my mailbox was a letter from Michelle Moog-Koussa, with tasty news of a new raffle they are holding at the Bob Moog Foundation….and of course, it is indeed part of the way we are wired here at AnalogSuicide to spread Moog love constantly & crazily. Soo – here’s more information for you below from The Bob Moog Foundation’s website:

  ”The Bob Moog Foundation announces a once in a lifetime raffle opportunity to begin Tuesday March 9, 2010 at 12pm (EST). The Foundation will be selling $50 raffle tickets for a chance to win one of Lou Reed’s Moog Guitars.

 Only 200 tickets will be made available. Participants can purchase raffle tickets online at the Foundation’s online store http://moogfoundation.org/shop . The raffle will close when the 200 tickets have been sold and a winner will be chosen by an automated random selector. All proceeds go to benefit the projects of the Bob Moog Foundation.

Moog Guitar, serial #005, signed and played by Lou Reed, to the Foundation. The strikingly beautiful instrument is a maple top Tiger Eye Flame with an ash body, maple neck and ebony fret board. Reed has signed the front of the guitar; his labels for the guitar’s controls remain on the instrument as well as the brackets for his guitar strap.”

Onward with the day – and have a good wander through the rest of the wonderful Bob Moog Foundation site, including this page featuring the upcoming ‘Moogseum’. Fantastic.
