RAY MANZAREK THE FORMER DOORS KEYBOARDIST TALKS TO EOIN BUTLER RECALLS JAMMING WITH JIM—AND VAN—MORRISON
You're coming to Dublin to play the Grand Canal Theatre this month. What can fans expect?Basically, it's going to be a five-man rock'n'roll band with new lead singer, backed by the Lombard Philharmonia Orchestra, playing all of The Doors biggest songs. It's going to be a tremendous wall of sound, I hope.
What do you do when you're not on tour? Well, I live in wine country, Napa Valley in California. So when I'm not touring I read, garden and take care of the fish pond. We have a small orchard that's coming into fruit as we speak. My wife has a lovely little vegetable garden so, when we're not taking care of that, we're going out to some of the gorgeous local restaurants and drinking Californian wine. It's a good life.
