ManRay001(Ray Manzarek) : Hello everyone this is Ray.
Shmogger : Has everyone entered the Doors Trivia Contest?
Shmogger : You can win a Pioneer Laserdisc player

Doors!
Talk2ABC : It's worth $900.
Talk2ABC : You also win an autographed copy of the disc.
Shmogger : Alriight! Let's get underway with Ray!!
OnlineHost : Ray Manzarek is a rock hero. As keyboard player in
: The Doors, he etched a place for himself among the
: most influential jazz/rock artists of the 60s and
: 70s. His supple, colorful musicianship yielded
: flowers from the complicated but fertile bed of
: Jim Morrison's dark poetry. The Doors turned on
: millions of young people with a succession of heady
: albums. We all have our favorite Doors songs!
OnlineHost : Manzarek recently collaborated on a video laser-
: disc set which tells the Doors' story, and
: compiles old home videos and live footage, much
: of it never before released. The double-disc set
: also features interviews, an archive of photos,
: some of Manzarek's student films, and a play by
: John Densmore.
OnlineHost : To promote the release, Rock & Road is pleased
: to award a Pioneer Laserdisc Player to the ultimate
: winner of our Doors Trivia Contest. Do you know
: the name of the L.A. club where The Doors got their
: start? Then you could be sittin' pretty with a brand
: new Laserdisc Player, friend!
OnlineHost : We are honored to present this live conference with
: Ray Manzarek, who for thirty years has electrified
: the world with his cerebral keys and funky eye-
: shades. Manzarek shares an enthusiasm for online
