Hi Tim:
No idea about "Dark Shadows," but Dick Hyman is still alive and active and has a website. Ask him
directly (and then tell us what he said!).

PS -- also really cool 70's Moog stuff are John Keatings "Space Experience" albums. Here's a YouTube
of the "Star Trek" theme where the doofus has his turntable set for 45 instead of 33!

and here's a too-fast "Sounds of Silence" cover:

note the comments, doofus got called on the fast turntable. But beggars can't be choosers. Both
Keating albums are together as an iTunes download, which seems to be mastered from the Quad mix --
play it thru a matrix decoder and trip out.
