Electronic Sounds From Canada Part 8 - Mort Garson
That's right. I am the connection. And you'll be hearing from me very soon. I'm going to plug you into Patch Cord Productions. So throw away your kazoo and your harmonica. You're about to enter the 70s, thanks to an electronic mushroom called the Moog synthesizer and a very talented man by the name of Mort Garson.
