"Riders on the Storm" is a psychedelic rock song. According to Robby Krieger, it was inspired by "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend". Also, Jim Morrison mentions spree killer Billy Cook, in passing, during at least one interview. Cook killed six people, including a young family, while hitchhiking to California. In all likelihood, the Cook murders were inspiration for the song's lyric, "There's a killer on the road / His brain is squirming like a toad...if you give this man a ride/sweet family will die ..." "Riders on the Storm" is played in the E Dorian mode, and incorporates recordings of rain and thunder, along with Ray Manzarek's Fender Rhodes electric piano playing, which emulates the sound of rain. The song was recorded at the Doors Workshop in December 1970 with the assistance of Bruce Botnick, their longtime engineer, who was co-producing the recording sessions. Jim Morrison recorded his main vocals and then whispered the lyrics over them to create the echo effect. This was the last song recorded by the members of the Doors, according to Manzarek, as well as Morrison's last recorded song to be released in his lifetime. The single was released in 1971, shortly before Morrison's death, entering the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending July 3, 1971, the same week that Morrison died. Many incorrectly believe that this is the song longtime Doors producer Paul A. Rothchild disparaged as "cocktail music", precipitating his departure from the project. Rothchild actually applied this moniker to "Love Her Madly". Engineer Bruce Botnick was selected to produce the album instead.

He was probably sober when he wrote it.

Used the EV-676 mic for L.A. Woman.

Here’s a couple of sisters to those. @Chunky Stool

Not sure exactly how tall they are, but they’re over 8ft, and have been topped once. I should have topped them at least once more.

Nice!
Mine are still in 3 gallon bags.
I think they were only topped once but I did it differently depending on how the plant was growing.
If the plant was tall and lanky, I snipped the main stem taking a few branches off the top.
If the plant was relatively short, I just took the tip.

The goal was to keep them all the same height but they still varied quite a bit. o_O

Day 71 of the goofy grape cross w/GDP. Smells like juicy fruit gum // grapes and green apples. Still flushing her out.Rock hard Nugs. I’m really pushing here to her max Potential. I been misting her with water just because I’m seeing bananas shooting out.

As far as picking a name I’m digging “Juicy Grape “
