Hope everyone is having a nice holiday season with family and friends!

While cleaning up the photo closet lately, I came across some forgotten film and movies.

Here we have part of that find with a few photos of a show at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center in 1978 with Steve Forbert and Kenny Loggins.

Always have loved them both!

Check out a few photos and have a Happy New Year!

Just an added discovery that our great Milwaukee local promoter Peter Jest and Shank Hall are bring Steve Forbert to town January 11th!!!! Come on down for a great show.

Thanks,

I was reminded a little while ago that Frank Zappa passed away on December 4, 1993 at the age of 52. It's sad to have lost the legend at such a young age from prostrate cancer.

It made me remember that I had some photos of Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention from 1973 when I had the pleasure of being part of an interview for the Bugle American newspaper. Those would be the black and white photos here with a few from the show that night.

I also found some color images and a Super 8mm movie from the show at the Milwaukee Arena on 1971!!

That interview with Frank Zappa was really interesting. He was one of the brightest people I've met. He talked about politics, world events and music all while chain smoking cigarettes and sipping coffee.

Recently, we watched a movie about Frank and he says, "It's abnormal for a musician to be interviewed" but it really was a great interview that day.

Enjoy a look at Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends.

These photos are from one of the first shows I photographed for the Bugle American newspaper when I was in high school. It was the beginning of a lot of rock 'n' roll photography that continues to this day.

It looks like we did an interview with Ian Anderson for the paper that day as Ian sat with us before the show smoking a few cigarettes.

Enjoy a look at Ian Anderson, Martin Barre and Clive Bunker at work.

The 2020 Rich Zimmermann Photography calendar is now available by the way!! First batch is sold and about to order more!!

Thanks,
