These are photographs from the second day, April 15, 1972, of the Wisconsin Music Festival, held at the University of Wisconsin Fieldhouse in Madison.
Day 2 was a big day with Linda Ronstadt, Kris Kristofferson, Pattie Santos with It's a Beautiful Day, and Ramblin Jack Elliott and Rosalie Sorrels returned for more fun.
There are a lot of photographs with this blog. It was a great day and a very memorable show for me. A lot of beer cans were on the floor of that dressing room!

On April 14 and 15, 1972, the Wisconsin Music Festival was held at the University of Wisconsin Fieldhouse in Madison.
The show consisted of about 10 acts performing each day. On the first day day I photographed Bob Brown, Nick Holmes, Dave Van Ronk, McKendree Springs, Rosalie Sorrels, Ramblin Jack Elliott, Richie Havens, The Earl Scruggs Review and Uncle Dirty who was the MC for both days.
Being just 17 years old and hanging out in the dressing room with these musicians is still a great memory for me. I was a music photographer for the Bugle-American newspaper at the time, and with this two day show I got two pages of photographs in the magazine! It was a wonderful time and everyone was so nice to me. These days, it would never happen for a young photographer to be able to roam around and mingle like I did.
Enjoy the seven photographs attached of Bob Brown, The Earl Scruggs Review, Ramblin Jack Elliott, Richie Havens, Rosalie Sorrels and a photo of Earl Scruggs' sons.
Next week I will feature the second night of the festival in my blog which has some more memorable pictures that I took.

This past weekend the American LeMans Series (ALMS) was at Elkhart Lake. This form of racing in 1991 was called the International Motor Sports Associations (IMSA) Camel GT and it was big racing!
Camel cigarettes sponsored the series and some of the major car manufacturers were really into this form of racing in a big way. Dan Gurney had the Toyota Eagles with Juan Manuel Fangio II in one car and P J Jones in the other. Geoff Brabham and Chip Robinson were driving the Nissans The Bud Light Jaguar of Davey Jones was amazing and Wayne Taylor in the Chevy Intrepid also tried to keep up the pace.
The days of Porsche winning everything by 1991 was done since Toyota, Nissan, Jaguar and Chevy were now racing with huge budgets.
Enjoy a few memorable photographs from the Nissan Grand Prix at Road America won by Davy Jones in his Jaguar on August 25, 1991.
