It's finally winter here in Wisconsin! We got about 6" of snow the other night and it's beautiful outside!
My last blog was about Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac in 1987 without Lindsey Buckingham. Here we have Lindsey Buckingham at Summerfest in 2007 without Fleetwood Mac! He did a solo tour then like he is doing right now.
Lindsey has a great voice and I think he is even better at playing guitar. The guitars he used here were Turner guitars that looked a bit modified if you look closely. Great sounds out of these guitars with the master playing them on a nice night at Summerfest.
Enjoy and stay warm.
Thanks,

Happy New Year everyone!!! Hope you all had a great holiday season.
This week we look at Fleetwood Mac way back when in 1987 when Lindsey Buckingham was not yet part of the group.
It's similar to what Fleetwood Mac is like now without Lindsey. For me, he really was the heart of the band. Well, maybe after Peter Green and Bob Welch that is!
So, check out Stevie Nicks, Billy Burnette, Rick Vito, Christine McVie and of course Mick Fleetwood. This was a cold night in 1987 at Alpine Valley Music Theater here in Wisconsin.
Thanks,

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
This is my last blog of 2018 and it has been an amazing year in my world of photography. I've been very busy with some awesome projects. Here are a few highlights.
One of my photographs is in a book on Jethro Tull! I have a two page spread in Neil Preston's photo book on Led Zeppelin! There is a photograph of mine of Al Kooper in the documentary "If I Leave Here Tomorrow" about Lynyrd Skynyrd!! Thanks to all people involved with these projects.
Presently, I am working on a Roxy Music project that I hope will work out and can share with you soon. Until then, take a look at these pictures of Roxy Music at the Riverside Theater on February 26, 1975.
Babe Ruth and StarCastle also played that show. Babe Ruth people have become friends and I was lucky enough to photograph them at Summerfest a few years back. Those pictures are on my website.
Roxy Music and Brian Ferry have always been one of my favorite bands. Brian has such a unique sounding voice.
Thanks, and I'll talk to you next year.
