Hello!!!
Don't think I'll be able to make it this year! I'm flat hunting at the moment, so my financial situation is very bad! Split up with my fella last October and been living with my parents, but it's not going perfectly.Rebecca and I need our own space! (Mostly for dancing in!) So all my money, what little there is, is all going into that at the moment. I don't work because I think Rebecca's too young for nursery. So saving is almost impossible!!!
I'm absolutely gutted! 'Cos it sounds like an excellent place to be! Maybe next year?
Love from Sandy.

Well I'll certainly be thinking of you all in July! Probably wallowing in jealousy and despair at the fact I can't join you! But hey, you've gotta have a hobby haven't you?!
Love from Sandy.

LMAO!! i forgot about most of those photos on the site alex! well funny. what a great time we had in 2004! i have no doubt the cming summer will be just as good. but the good thing is when we get there, the sheer buzz of being there and meeting old and not so old friends and being around Jim's final resting place is overwhelming. We just take it as it comes when we are there, superb! I notice in every shot with mark in he is mollesting young girls! lol mind you Stu seemed to be mollesting everyone! lol |

Why can't Ray just tell the stories, he's pretty fascinating when he breaks away from the script he usually reads from, & when he talks about how they created the music, totally fascinating! I think The Doors were successful they helped us all break on through to the other side & we percieve life as it should be infinite sorry about the misspellings. |

Hey! I'll spot any spelling mistakes that appear! I'm training to be a proofreader! Checking spelling and grammar will be my job when I'm qualified and when Rebecca reaches 3 years old (November) and I can put her into a nursery! I can spell almost anything!
Love from,
Sandy.

Robby Krieger: Guitar Player Magazine 1998
When I began to write Light My Fire, I knew that the song would have to be pretty together to compete with what Jim was writing. He wrote about such heavy-duty subjects, so I figured, What could be heavier than air, earth, fire, and water?
I always liked that song Play with Fire, by the Stones, so I figured I'd write about fire.
Although we didn't presume to be jazz musicians, what I really-wanted to do in the Doors was play jazz, but with rock and roll sounds. I consider Light My Fire the quintessential Doors jazz song. In fact, it uses the same chords under the solo that Coltrane used on My Favorite Things.
By the time we recorded the song, we had been playing it in the clubs for quite a while. I would pretty much start playing the solo the same way every night, but then I'd go off about midway and from there things were rarely the same twice. However, I tracked the recorded version in two takes.
I got the tone simply by plugging my Melody Maker into a Fender Twin Reverb and cranking the amp up to 10.1 used the Melody Maker's bass pick-up because I found that it produced more sustain.
Actually, I never used the treble pickup.
I always hated trebly sounds!

Elektra founder Jaz Holzman to Mojo magazine November 2010:
"We had that huge problem with the time length - seven-and-a-half minutes. Nobody could figure out how to cut it.
Finally I said to Rothchild, Nobody can cut it but you.
When he cut out the solo, there were screams.
Except from Jim. Jim said, 'Imagine a kid in Minneapolis hearing even the cut version over the radio, it's going to turn his head around.'
So they said, 'Go ahead, release it.' We released it with the full version on the other side."
