JEFF SHERWOOD SPEAKS WITH LEON BARNARD

In mid-October 1969 following The Doors recent performance in Las Vegas, Jeff Sherwood of the Van Nuys Valley News speaks with press agent Leon Barnard over the phone. Jim Morrison and his virtues are the subject of the discussion, along with The Doors performances at the Aquarius Theater on July 21st, and other matters related to the band. While this published article from 1969 reveals Jim Morrison had attended performances by Little Richard and Fats Domino while in Las Vegas, a follow-up conversation with Leon by MildEquator.com reveals the duo had also attended a performance by Peggy Lee. No recordings of this phone call are known to exist.
