    Robert Moog and Lucky Thompson

    The No Show Musical Necropolis

    Steve Post inducts two new members into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis: Saxophonist Eli “Lucky” Thompson, whose life teaches us to never nickname a child “Lucky,” and Robert Moog, inventor of the Moog synthesizer, without which much contemporary music would be impossible (think disco, hip-hop and electronica). Steve and Frank discuss several items of, well, not breaking but perhaps broken news, and muse further on the nature of nicknames. The music may give you the willies.
