1966 - The Doors outside their beach house in Venice, Cali, taking a break from rehearsal. From Ray Manzarek: "The entire glassed-in room was ours. Rent was 200 hundred/mo! This is where The Doors rehearsed and wrote, “Light My Fire”. The house was on the strand somewhere near Washington and the Marina and close to the Venice Pier.

Hi,
I read that last week, all interesting stuff. I was in conversation with a mate about Les Paul guitars. He has a collection of guitars and he showed me reports of some of the big prices for the Les Paul.
I did a bit of research into them. It seems that Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones kicked started the 60s demand for them.

Yesterday’s walk (too far, too hot) took me through Hampstead Norreys and onwards to Ashampstead. Between the two is Haw Farm, which has an airstrip (relic from WW2). This is what the footpath looks like
(someone else’s picture - the field wasn’t full of opium poppies yesterday). This is what the open tented structure on the left has inside it
(again someone else’s picture - one Jon Wickenden for the sake of crediting him). Apparently it’s this de Havilland Tiger Moth II. I was surprised to see it sitting in very rural West Berks on such open display. Then again the climb out of Hampstead Norreys is short but so bloody steep that maybe the path doesn’t get much use.

I hope he continued to do it by coaxing, rather than playing the force card 
They would still be looking for his limbs.
