He has gone to the Garden of Eden.

I'm surprised to find out that he was a neighbor.  Rest in Peace, Lee.

Hmmm, I was not immediately familiar with him, or his band. So I looked him up. I will confess, for the last 44 years, I thought "In A Gadda Da Vida" was "In the Garden of Eden".

70 is starting to seem, "young," my the world is changing.  Bye bye RIP

Yep!  Iron Butterfly was formed in San Diego with Doug Ingle on keyboards (he's the one who wrote In A Gadda Da Vida).
 
How close to me were they?  Well, at one time in my brief band career, Doug Ingle was our drummer (because we already had a killer keyboardist).  Not the same guy though, but his son who I went to high school with (same year and everything).  He left soon after to join a band where he could play keyboards (if I remember correctly, the only drummer I was in a band with that didn't end up in jail or died early - lol!).
