Bass & lead sounds on the Minimoog, a vintage / antique analog synthesizer from 1972: pre-MIDI, monophonic, and no programming capability--every sound has to be created from scratch.

Piano accompaniment: variations on The Doors' "When the Music's Over."

Yes, the riff is similar, but The Doors came up with it first! (I'm playing variations on the keyboard riff in The Doors' "When the Music's Over").

This is the only vintage keyboard I have left, and I initially I wasn't going to sell it ... but synthesizer playing isn't part of my life anymore, so soon I'm going to put this one up on eBay too.
