Happy New Year to everyone and I wish you the best for 2026. Last year was tough for us here and we're ready to move on.
In 1972 I was working for the Bugle American newspaper and Columbia Records. I had just finished my senior year of high school.
I was also working with Summerfest for the first time and life was good.
I thought that I had already posted these few photos of Pete Seeger who was one of our founders of the folk music era with Woody Guthrie and others, but I guess I didn't.
He was playing at Summerfest on the same day as Arlo Guthrie and George Carlin, if I remember correctly.
Enjoy these photos of one of the founding fathers of folk music.
Thanks,

Just a simple blog to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Let's hope that 2026 brings us all less visits to doctors and hospitals.
Enjoy some pictures of our animal friends in the yard from this past year.

Just a short little blog with a few photos of Jesse Colin Young and Leo Kottke from May of 1975.
In May of 1975 I was still working for the Bugle American newspaper.
It was a rough time in my life as my studio, Intrepid Trips, closed and from then on I worked out of where ever I lived.
I would stretch out a 36 exposure roll of film for 2 or 3 shows so I could save money. With film of course you didn't see what you shot until after the film was developed. Digital photography did not exist then.
Here you see the result of good photos from 15 shots taken that night! I really like digital photography now for the instant results and especially in low light for rock'n' roll.
Chemotherapy #18 is up next so I actually wrote this a bit early (December 9th) because I never know how I'll feel. It's different every time. The last one was awful.
Enjoy a couple shots from way back in 1975.
Just heard that Raul Malo passed last night (December 8th) from cancer. Cancer SUCKS. We texted a few times during our cancer journeys. Love to his family and we're going to miss Raul a bunch. He had such a great voice and left us records to remember him by.
Thanks,
