I wish they'd had a couple more panalists - yes, it was big as it was, but this gave an illusion that the pioneers were from a narrow field. The Radiophonic Workshop was reprtedly one of the best centers of research and electronic composition of the time.

That's me asking the last series of audience-member questions. I *so* wish attendance had been higher and that more folks knew the breadth of these pioneers' contributions to music, sound and synthesis. (I also wish I had worn a belt.) [In memory of Dr. Bob Moog]
