Abstract :
Back in the 1960s, Neal Doughty [below] divided his time between electrical engineering classes at the University of Illinois and a rock band he had just started called REO Speedwagon. The keyboardist still feeds his inner geek; his latest toy is a German-made virtual-analog synthesizer, and he´s reading popular books on quantum physics during the band´s current U.S. tour with Styx and 38 Special.
