Nice find, Mr. Tse.
Listening to Ray Manzarek talk was pretty enlightening, how The Doors took "Light My Fire" and changed it from a Sonny n' Cher, upbeat, scooby song into bluesy, psychodelic "Light My Fire".
Was thinking that Ray Manzarek and Mitch Mitchell had some things in common: Both were very talented, both played "behind" front men ( in Mitchell's case, Jimi Hendrix) who marched to the beat of a different drum (no pun intended).
Yet they not only "kept up", they excelled.
