Blog #413-Jerry Lee Lewis and Truc at Summerfest-July 18, 1972
November 28, 2022
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
A few weeks ago we lost one of the best rock 'n' rollers to ever play. Jerry Lee Lewis ,"The Killer", was one of a kind and we will never have another musician or person like him.
I had the pleasure on July 18, 1972 to not only photograph The Killer but to chat with him and his band backstage that night. Really a nice guy and had alot of fun with him that night.
The band Truc, also known as Truc of America,opened the show for Jerry Lee Lewis. Drummer Ed Sison became a good friend and was also playing for the band The Ox in those days.
Enjoy a look at both bands from that night.
Thanks,

I can't believe that it's almost Thanksgiving. Time flies, doesn't it?
Finally catching up with things but still have a ton of Summerfest photos to edit and archive for future blogs.
So, this is Part 2 of the Millers at the Milwaukee Mile on July 8th and 9th of 2022. The previous blog was Part 1.
During this two day event I took over 600 photos at the Milwaukee Mile. Then I went to Summerfest in the evening to photograph Rod Stewart, Cheap Trick, The Tubes, John Fogerty, Los Straightjackets, Rick Springfield, The Cult and the Marshall Tucker Band!! Probably took over 3000 photos that weekend.
Enjoy another look at some amazing and historic cars at the Milwaukee Mile.
It's such a good story of how Indy cars evolved through the years. I still can't imagine driving an Indy 500 in some of these cars, but at the time, they were the state of the art machines.
Some of these photos may look very similar to the photos in the Part 1 blog but the drivers are diffferent in a few of the cars. I'm also using 3 cameras with different setups and lenses.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
