I'm going to let as many of you die before me as possible. That way when I finally kick the bucket, no matter where I end up, at least some of you will be there and I'll have at least a few people who'll know what I'm talking about.

It is hard to watch one by one , these rock pioneers fall away. I think the story goes that Ray originally played a vox continental but it was an italian model. These had plastic keys that were glued to metal shafts, unlike the wooden British keys , and they broke off. The italian vox also has a reedier sound, a little closer to a farfisa. He replaced the vox with the Gibson later on.

Looks like the news is directed towards this bout with cancer. I never heard anything and didn't even know he was sick. Sad, he has always been an amazing influence.M

I like the sound of the vox as well. I think he is dead though.

He used a Vox Continental and Kalamazoo orgen, not Farfisa. Sorry, also heard yet it is a hoax.

Sorry to hear of his death. I liked his playing and the Farfisa sound.

My wife hated the chessy farfisa sound - but I loved the studio work - he was great with that Doors mysterioso sound........
