bloop bloop wah wah zip!
I like this part "Keyboardist Walter (later Wendy) Carlos demonstrated the range of Moog's synthesizer by recording the hit album "Switched-On Bach" in 1968 using only the new instrument instead of an orchestra." No "Walter" didn't get a sex change operation. Wendy was born Wendy but recorded as "Walter" because she didn't think a woman musician would be taken seriously!
Not true. Walter/Wendy Carlos' sex-change operation was widely publicized and was one of the very first. I was a fan then, and now. Circa 1967. See:
