Jim Morrison, his poem "I Miss My Boy", recorded on his 27th birthday at The Village,1970.

"For his birthday in 1970, Frank Lisciandro buys Jim Morrison studio time to record his poems. Like the poetry tape from 1969, various portions of this recording were also used for the raw materials to construct the 1978 poetry album. During this session, Jim Morrison gives a complete reading of his privately published poetry book An American Prayer, and recites portions of his poetry with Kathy Lisciandro and Florentine Pabst. This session is not continuous, and is likely recorded over numerous reels. Jim is also said to have attempted many of the acapellas known from the previous 1969 recording including Bird Of Prey and Woman In The Window. Various other poetry compositions are recorded on this date, including Cassandra At The Well, and many others of which have still not been heard by the general public."

“California, geographically, has been a magnet for creative souls since its birth,” says Jeff Greenberg, who owns the famed Village Studios in West Los Angeles. “The labels are headquartered here, so recording studios in Los Angeles have long been a draw."
