Who's Ray Manzarek, might Collgoff ask?
Let me fill you in...
Once upon a time there was a rock group called The Doors, and if you ever heard "Light My Fire" on the radio, you'll recognize Ray's keyboard riffs that gave the band their first #1.
While lead singer Jim Morrison was busy getting arrested/drunk/passing out on stage, Ray held the band together with his hypnotic, droning Vox organ, creating a trance-like state for the listeners to fall into.
Aside from his music, Ray also made a number of experimental films. He was aware of Jim Henson's "Time Piece", and had he not gone on to rock superstardom, would've carved out a nice career making films like that.
