I first met Linda Ronstadt in a locker room/dressing room in 1972 when I was 17 years old! I then took one of my favorite photographs ever! That black and white photo is with Ramblin' Jack Elliott listening to her warm up before she went on stage.
I've been working on some photos of Linda Ronstadt from 1972 and 1980 lately for something coming up!
Other than that picture, these are photos from 1980 in Madison, Wisconsin.
Always have loved Linda's talented voice. She has sung just about every type of music I believe other than opera in her long career.
Not sure on the band here but I think the main guitar player is Danny Kortchmar. Any help in identifying the band would be appreciated.
Enjoy the photos.
Thanks,

Hope everyone has been staying warm with our cold winter weather! Do you think Mother Nature may be angry with us?
I covered the opening of the U.S. WorldWired tour of Metallica that was in Madison, Wisconsin last September in a previous blog.
Recently, I realized that I forgot to show you the Milwaukee tour stop of Metallica on October 16, 2018 at the FiServ Forum. I've been too busy with this thing called life I guess.
Here are a few of the photos of that amazing Metallica show. The stage and production design by our Milwaukee friend, Dan Braun, is just incredible!!
Check out the boys and this tour if possible to see in action the kinetic cubes above the stage. Four of the cubes rise from within the round stage and become drum kits for all four guys to play.
Stay warm!
Thanks,

It's finally winter here in Wisconsin! We got about 6" of snow the other night and it's beautiful outside!
My last blog was about Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac in 1987 without Lindsey Buckingham. Here we have Lindsey Buckingham at Summerfest in 2007 without Fleetwood Mac! He did a solo tour then like he is doing right now.
Lindsey has a great voice and I think he is even better at playing guitar. The guitars he used here were Turner guitars that looked a bit modified if you look closely. Great sounds out of these guitars with the master playing them on a nice night at Summerfest.
Enjoy and stay warm.
Thanks,
