Ray's mysterious setup Vancouver 1968
Hey Vince,
I just saw this photo for the first time, of Ray from Vancouver, July 13, 1968.
It's really weird, there's a Vox Continental, and on top of that, it looks like another organ (maybe an RMI?), and atop that something else (not the Piano Bass, something else).
Any ideas?

Not photo to see or check. Once again I mention that we did not carry the Vox, which was too fragile for the road beatings that the equipment took, We had no other instrument at that time but were negotiating with Rocky Mount Inststruments for an RMI piano/organ. Personally I really liked the sound and tonal selections. Ray, on the onther hand, hated it with a passion.
RMI pianos were simply too heavy and too fragile for road transport. It was bad enough keeping the Piano bass in repair and tune with just 24 keys. Imagine 88 keys and the enormous weight of the tone bars.
