Music of the Cosmos composed and arranged for Moog and Buchla synthesizers and Ognob generator by Douglas Leedy.
This man [Douglas Leedy] spat in my face when I was a student in his class at UCLA and claimed to be a composer. “You’re a composer?” he sneered in seething contempt. “I’m a composer!” he sputterd in pompous, boastful rage. I never took another music theory class, but went on to a distinguished career as an acclaimed, award-winning composer of many musicals and operas, likened along the way to Gershwin, Stravinsky and Puccini. Douglas Leedy turns out to be not much of a composer at all, was a terrible teacher and should not be allowed around talented people.

My Uncle was an incredible mind. Maybe you had a bad experience with him but did you really have to post it on the Internet. I suspect it was to put someone down to boost your own ego. Having had my uncle pass away yesterday and find your aggressively mean comment is quite upsetting. I hope when you pass your legacy online won’t be tarnished by some disgruntled person like you.
