Ray Manzarek Breaks on Through

Sigh.
Rest in peace.

Thanks for the link, Ragman.

Just heard this myself. Dang.

Happy trails...

RIP

I'll never forget the first time I put The Doors album on the turntable and the first notes of Break On Through rang out.
A kick ass band, but....there was no bass player!
Manzarek was doing it all....keyboards and bass.
What a talent....what a loss.

“The only thing that ultimately matters is to eat an ice-cream cone, play a slide trombone, plant a small tree, good -God, now you're free.” –Ray Manzarek.

I'll never forget the day I chickened out from taking Jim Morrison and his woman's blood for a premarital test - I'd never done that before or since, chickening out, and I had been exposed, as it were, to celebrities from my first med job at sixteen and that was now long later. I chickened out because I could, Muriel would do it, and did.

Muriel was a tall sort of redhead with presence, done quickly.

Aside from that particular about my failure, I liked the Doors.

I always count on you for an anecdote
