More editing tonight and I was listening to music as I am doing it. Tonight, it was The Doors and the album of choice was ‘Strange Days’. What fantastic album. It brings back memories for me of when I lived in LA in the late 1970’s. My two English pals who also lived there, Craig Wolchover & David Sherman and we would often drive over the Hollywood Hills on those hot evenings from Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley down to Hollywood, listening to The Doors on our way. I was usualy on my to photograph someone or a band at either the Rainbow, Roxy, Starwood or Troubadour!. Anyway, tonight’s editing, was a trip down memory lane for me. What a band! Their keyboard player, Ray Manzarek, was considerd by many, to be one of the greatest keyboard players of all time and I wouldnt dissagree with that. He had such a style and in many ways was unique. The Doors were such a force and quite incredible. Ray Manzarek, sadly died in 2013. Here is one of my last photos of Ray in 2006. #TheDoors #RayManzerek #LA #TheRainbow #Roxy #Troubadour #Keyboard #JimMorrison #1960’s #MusicPhotography
