No, that's Robert Moog. Emerson has a lot to thank that guy for!

Emerson?

As in, "Emerson nice patch cords you've got there, Robert..."?

Oh my... that's too funny, Paul! Remember I also play the accordion!!! (Chromatic buttons, not piano keyboard)
I can tell you everything you want to know (or don't!) about Scandalli 120 basses.

Maybe the time is right for a Lightshow Accordion, Lars. Hook up a switch to each button...the possibilities make me all shivery!

The Ox himself playing his lightshow 4005 in one of my favorite WHo songs, with his Rigor Mortis band circa 1973:

John,

Here is a video from the same session, "Peg Leg Peggy" with the lights on in the intro. Too bad the quality is poor of the video.
