Those of you who know me from filk circles have probably seen me with a Minimoog synthesizer. That's one of my two unique voices in the filk community; the other is the bass clarinet. I like to drag out the Mini and show it off, like it's some type of classic car. (As for hearing me play, I need to get a better amp -- my old 1981 vintage Panasonic boom box is starting to break down -- and work on my keyboard chops.)

Years ago, I saw a picture of Billy Joel with a Minimoog. I couldn't find one online, but I found a video of him playing one.

Here's Billy on piano and Minimoog with "The Entertainer" (from his "Streetlife Serenade" album).

Now to figure out that patch -- 4', triangle wave, glide at about 4 or 5.

[Updated 01:01 01/05/07 EST]I think this is my 1000th LJ entry, based on what I'm seeing in Semagic.

Today, the first American Muslim was sworn into office. Keith Ellison, a Democrat from Minnesota, used a Quran (or Koran) loaned to him from the Library of Congress as part of the ceremony.

But the moment was not without controversy. )
