My oldest brother put a guitar strap on his Moog so he could use it better in the pep/funk pep band at high school games. (1986) This keyboard accompanied his perm and muscle shirts.
I figured that was too easy. I didn’t know this (from Wikipedia):
“The Army Air Corps piano was invented during World War II by Harold Rhodes in an effort to provide a piano that injured servicemen could build and play while in bed.”

I’m kind of surprised that none of you have named one of your offspring something like Hammond Moog or…

Fear the keytar. There is only one person who has redeemed the keytar, and it is Paul Meany.

Im still hoping for more nerdy keyboard names.
How about Resonance Filter Reisser?

We’re gonna mock Sharolyn, right? Like I get mocked? Right, Mike?
This is an equal opportunity mockery… umm… opportunity, right?

Too easy – fender rhodes. Sung by Blossom Dearie, I believe.

If you can find them, those first generation of hand-made lap pianos are worth a fortune.

This one looks pretty cool. (I’m procrastinating preparing for school tomorrow.)

Hey, you looked up the Blossom Dearie thing, right?
