A GOOD LESSON IN THE POWER OF INTERPRETATION: Loved both Jose's and the Door's versions of "Light My Fire". Completely different vibes...both GREAT!


R.

Still play the Jose version every night. Play the Door's version when the group and venue are right.

I really love both versions too. I'm trying to find an interview that Ray did years ago on NPR in which he discusses how he concieved the organ part and chord changes to "Light My Fire"
Great stuff.

Paul, I'm too old to remember him. In fact, Fran thinks I'm too old to remember anything. wink

As long as you don't forget the recipe for kickapoo joy juice, who cares what else you might forget? LOL

Diki, I'm hoping to make another whirlwind tour of the sunny south again this coming winter. If I get to your part of the world, I'll bring you a bottle.

Always welcome, Gary. Not as warm as South Florida, but maybe worth a side trip on the way down...
