A friend of mine has a new book about Moog which has a lot of info on Walter Sear. It seems like he has done everything. He would be a fascinating topic for a biography of his own.
I noticed that Wikipedia doesn't have an entry on Walter. On this board I've seen former students and others who knew Walter from his tuba store days. Everyone has a different story about him and is able to illuminate different aspects of his life. These disparate strands of info are what wikipedia is best for - group authorship. In addition he would be the missing hyperlink between B movies, moogs, Cerveny, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and Sonic Youth. Would some of you like to piece together an entry for him?

Here is a rudimentary beginning page.

Please fill in dates, more info on the tubas, compositions, etc. Somebody also should write an entry on Cerveny, as it is historically as important as any brass manufacturer.
