Beg to differ. OK Morrison didn't actually *play* an instrument, but several
songs e.g. Moonlight Drive were presented in rehersal to the rest of the band as
songs. Not poems or lyrics but with the melody already present. The rest of the
band would then play the right chords etc. to the tunes that Jim had already
composed.
