Those of us who admit to knowing who Rick Wakeman is have just dated ourselves to the stone-age....

5thWiggle: Didn't watch the clip because I'm working. Did Rick Wakeman actually say he got the synth at a discount from some inexperienced salesperson because it was monophonic?

Yep.

My son (21) knows all about Mr. Moog and his box of tricks, and some of the sounds he gets out of his amps ocassionally send me back to that blissful, strange, very loud, and comparatively "innocent" time.........
[ Incidentally, for other oldies, on the wierd show we have here in UK called "The Voice", apparently Tom Jones compared one of the contestants favourably to Janis Joplin (blasphemy..) and then had to explain who she was, because said contestant took it as a criticism......
Ah, glory days.....

Not from a salesperson, but yes, Rick bought it secondhand, barely used because it was monophonic. He quoted the person he bought it from as saying it was "no good for him because it only played one note at a time".
