Robert Arthur 'Bob' Moog, the founder of Moog Music, was born on May 23, 1934 in Queens, New York. He had a strong passion for electronics, and used to consider himself a geeky, socially awkward kid. Bob's father George Moog was an electrical engineer for Con Edison. So, Bob, from an early age, built small radios, amplifiers, three note organs and other such projects in the basement workshop with his father.
