Too many "Hard Core" fans have been searching for where The Doors lived and rehearsed their first songs in the summer of 1966. "Here She Be" Folks!!! This was really Ray and Dorothy's beach apartment for which they paid only $200.00!!! The other fellas could crash here when they wanted tho. Anyway, in this apartment, The Doors perfected "Light My Fire" among others of which appear in their first album. Most Blogs say that it was south of Washington. But that would be impossible because from the interior shot looking outside in the photo of The Doors which appears in "Door's Illustrated", the Old Venice Pier is to the left of them; which is to their South. Hence, if the Rehearsal studio were south of Washington then, QUITE OBVIOUSLY, the Venice Pier would be to The Doors right in said photo, or rather North of The Doors. Which is a roundabout way of sayin' that I do believe that I've settled a long standing dispute of where The Doors rehearsal studio was... One more thing, in John Densmore's autobiography, he said that the rehearsal studio was south of Washington. But after 49 years, one does get RUSTY, as it were.
