Wow!! Blog #1 was on February 26, 2012, with an effort to scan my rock'n' roll and racing photography. Here we are at blog #250 and still scanning negatives and slides of mine for you.

Hope you all enjoy it.  Something interesting things have happened along the way. Just this past year, photos of mine were published in Jeff Beck's book, "Beck01"!

Today's blog is on Bryan Lee at UW Oshkosh on September 4, 1972, when he opened a show for REO Speedwagon. No stage was made other than getting a flatbed trailer from someone's truck. It was primitive and small, but it worked.

Bryan Lee is called "The Braille Blues Daddy", because he has been legally blind since age eight. He is a Wisconsin boy born in Two Rivers, Wisconsin on March 16, 1943. In the 1980's he made New Orleans his home and continues playing and touring today from there.

A little bit B.B. King, Buddy Guy, a touch of Luther Allison and you have Bryan Lee.  He's a great musician who I'd like to see again sometime soon.

Enjoy a look at some old photos of young blues man, Bryan Lee.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
