The photos were taken of The Doors during a performance in 1967, just before their song Light My Fire rocketed them to stardom. The exhibition, and the recently installed mural, Flying Morrison, are all in celebration of Jim Morrison&#8217;s 70th birthday, which is on December 8th.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> Slushbox will be performing with the celebrated poet Michael C. Ford, who is a contemporary and long time friend of The Doors. Also performing are Natural Hi-Fi and MOVE. <\/p>\n<p> In this rather epic video interview, Slushbox co-founders Mark Wheeler and Sharon Giarratano talk about the significance of the Sound Recording and Music Production programs at Long Beach City College, and their storied history in a series of band incarnations, including S&amp;M and 3Sum.
