The following is my very in depth interview with the legendary keyboardist from The Doors, Ray Manzarek. I talked with Ray about past, present and future, and I got some great stories and insights. There are even some stories about The Doors I've never heard before, and I've read a bunch of the books! I also talk with Bal, who made the album, Atonal Head, with Ray as a complete collaboration. Bal is a trumpet player/composer/producer extraordinaire working out of LA. He also does many clinics and seminars on recording and preforming. This was a life-long dream come true. I have been a Doors fan ever since falling in love with music, and I will remember this forever. *Also included for your listening pleasure is "Shinjuku Nights" from Atonal Head by Ray Manzarek and Bal. Hope you enjoy!
