I can't believe that I haven't done a blog on my very good friend Uncle Vinty! Vinty performed solo, in the The Uncle Vinty Show and then in his other band called The Movies.
So here we go. Enjoy some photos of Vinty and his bands. I included a few pictures of the one record that I know of that he made.
Some of the photos are from a television show he did on WITI-TV 6 years ago. I think the year was 1975.
One of the photos here is my very first business Christmas card from 1972!
A few of the black and white photos that look cracked are actually called reticulated. It is done as you process the film and then freeze it during the developing process. It's an interesting look that I did frequently in my college days.
Take a look at Vinty. He was a one of a kind!
Please join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography and I still have a few 2016 Rock'N Roll calendars left for $30.00 plus $5.00 for shipping. The Rolling Stones from 1975 are on the cover and every month features an artist in his birth month! David Bowie 1974 is January and it finishes up with Ted Nugent from 1981 in December. Every photo is suitable for framing!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

It is Easter Sunday as I write my blog today. So I say Happy Easter to you and hope you had a nice day with your families.
The past few weeks around here have been very hard because my father passed away shortly after his 96th birthday. He lived 96 wonderful years and he would have been married to my mother 71 years next week. The love those two have is really something.
Today, we just have one photo of my dad, Carl Zimmermann, and another old friend that we lost several years ago, Uncle Vinty. They are having a glass of champagne in this photo and dressed to the nines!
I hope they are upstairs doing the same thing right now looking down on us all and having a glass of champagne. Miss you guys a lot.
Happy Easter everyone and next week we will get back to normal and get some good blogs going again.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
