Very sad to hear about Mr Manzarek's passing. He was always a  major 
inspiration to me as a player and from what I can gather he was a very  smart and 
pleasant guy.   


RIP Ray.


Love and Scones.


Wallis.

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.

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........
