Today's blog looks at one of my all time favorite bands, The New Riders of the Purple Sage. When I was in college, NRPS, was my favorite band.
I became a lover of the pedal steel guitar because of Buddy Cage. He is the amazing pedal steel player of the NRPS band.
This show was on December 5, 1973. They opened the show for The Beach Boys that night at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.
Enjoy a look back at a great band that I hear is back together again!
Thanks,

Rory Gallagher's Facebook page and I have been talking lately and they have featured some of my photographs.
Today, we look back at both of Rory's shows that I covered.
October 20, 1971 at the Milwaukee Arena with Frank Zappa and Fleetwood Mac was the first show and the second one was on
November 8, 1972 at The East Village, a local club here in Milwaukee.
Enjoy looking back at Rory. All photographs are available to purchase as limited edition archival prints.
Thanks,

This past week we lost a couple of good rock people.
Johnny Winter and JC Hartsfield left us for the big great rock band forming in heaven.
JC Hartsfield was a good friend of mine for many years when the band Heartsfield was playing a lot in the 1970's and 80's here in the midwest.
Heartsfield, was a country rock band. If you never heard them, please do yourself a favor and look them up.
The attached photos cover many years in the 1980's and it seems a few of the photos are of a birthday party for JC. It looks like the good old shaving cream pie in the face.
I have a lot of Heartsfield photos and more will be coming soon but I had to scan a few today because of JC's passing.
Miss you JC, we had some good times together.
Thanks for the memories JC.
