On December 10, 1972, I photographed Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen at Humpin Hanna's here in Milwaukee.
Three days before, I photographed Manfred Mann and his Earth Band at the same club. Manfred Mann, was last week's blog. Humpin Hanna's was a great venue in the 70's for a lot of national acts coming through town.
Commander Cody had ties to Wisconsin because he was a teacher for a while at UW Oshkosh!!
His famous song "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette", was very popular at the time and the photos attached here show him smoking and playing it!
Hope you have a nice holiday today and have a great week.
Please join me on Facebook at Rich Zimmermann Photography if you haven't and have a great week.
Thanks,

On December 7, 1972, Manfred Mann came to Humpin Hanna's here in Milwaukee.
Hanna's is a little club and this was before Manfred Mann became a household name in music.
He and the boys were awesome with his Hammond B3 and Moog synthesizer. Everyone had a good time and after this show Manfred became very popular with Bruce Springsteen helping out with some songs.
Enjoy some photos and have a great week.
Thanks,

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers! Without you we wouldn't be here!!
Today, we take a look back to November 27, 1978 when Bruce Springsteen came to the MECCA Arena here in Milwaukee.
The Boss, as Bruce is known, always puts on a great show and this was no exception!
What is your favorite Springsteen song?
For me it's 10th Avenue Freezeout. Love that tune!
Have a great week and get your yard work done! We did so much Saturday we slept 13 hours Saturday night!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
