It's a very exciting week here in Milwaukee with Summerfest going on at the lakefront. It is the largest music festival in the world!

Last night, I had the great pleasure of meeting and photographing the band Babe Ruth! They are some of the nicest people I have ever met and the world of rock'n'roll is full of a lot of egos and more.

Very nice people who I told I would do this week's blog on them. Unfortunately, I forgot that I was going finish part 2 of a 2 week blog on The Byrds from 1972. So, my Babe Ruth fans, please give me until next week and I will get that blog done then.

The photos last week were of Clarence White and here are the rest of The Byrds! Roger McGuinn, shown here is playing a beautiful Rickenbacher guitar. Skip Battin is playing bass and Gene Parsons is on drums.

Also, check out my friends The Familiar Looking Strangers, performing at the Briggs stage on Tuesday night, July 1, at 8pm at Summerfest. They always do a great show and have a lot of fun with the crowd.

Have a great week and please join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
