I was so looking forward to catching the Roy Rogers Ray Manzarek band at some stage.Translucent Blues is on high rotation in my cd player.
This is tragic news.

Very sad news – a wonderful musician. In my opinion, Ray was as important to The Doors as Jim Morrison.

Ray’s playing was a staple of The Doors. He’ll certainly be missed after such a long and fruitful career helping to create such haunting music. The Doors’ songs opened my mind to other realms of possibilities and cleansed my perception. I paid tribute to Ray when I heard of his passing by creating a new portrait of him and some melting doors which you can see on my artist’s blog at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2013/05/in-memoriam-ray-manzarek.html Drop by and let me know how The Doors influenced you too.
