Ray Manzarek dies at 74; keyboardist for the Doors - latimes.com

Ray Manzarek dies at 74; keyboardist for the Doors - latimes.com: "Then we auditioned at a club in Los Angeles, and I saw the Fender Rhodes keyboard bass onstage, which belonged to another band. And I thought, 'Eureka, that's it. I'll play that,' " he said. "It worked out fine because it's basically the way I play the keyboard anyway, with my left hand playing the bass line. And it kept the Doors as a four-side diamond, rather than an evil pentagram."
