Doug Yankus and his band Soup at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center on March 25, 1973.

October 15, 2012

Last week, a good friend and great musician, Jon Paris, (check out jonparis.com), posted a photograph of John Lennon on Facebook.  In the photograph, John  Lennon is having some scrambled eggs for breakfest and a copy of a record album by the Wisconsin band Soup is seen.

Soup, was a popular band in the early 1970's.  It consisted of Doug Yankus on guitar, with Dave Faas on bass and Rob Griffith on drums.  Doug Yankus did the main vocals and the majority of the song writing.

Their first album was a plain brown jacket with a bright green insert listing the songs and credits.  The insert said the cover art was to be done by "You"!

The attached photographs show my own personal cover art and photographs from a show they did with the Dutch band Focus at the Performing Art Center in Milwaukee, March 25, 1973.
