Ray Manzarek RIP

Thanks for the heads up Mapman being a big Doors fan. I'll definitely check it out.

A while back there was a thread here entitled "Best Rock Song of All Times, "not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that [best] represents the rock."

I nominated "Light My Fire" (the full 7 minute version, of course). Ray's keyboard work during the long instrumental segment amazes me.

RIP.

Bummer!
Winter of 67/68 drove from Minnesota to Florida and back. Had ONE 8 track tape, The Doors!

I was lucky enough to see Ray and Robby in Albany a few years ago. It was truly a memorable show. He was such an ambassador for the band. I sat with Morrison Hotel side 1, and moved on to LA Woman last night. Will start late and finish early, I guess. Always found these lines in the movie funny:

Ray: So let's hear what you have?
Jim: Let's swim to the Moon, baby....
Ray: Those are some great f**kin lyrics man!

I was lucky to catch The Doors in concert twice. Great both times. Thanks for the music Ray!
