Just a quick Father's Day blog today. Here we have Joe Walsh March 19, 1975 at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee during his Barnstorm band days.
These photographs are with film and one of the photos is an ACTUAL double exposure with film!!!!!!!! There were no digita fixes in 1975!
Which do you think was better, Joe Walsh in his Barnstorm band days or his James Gang days??
Enjoy these images on my new website and please keep checking it for more photos and stories.

Tony Kanaan is probably the most physically fit person on pit lane. He has become a triathlete and has competed in the Iron Man marathon in Hawaii with fellow Indy Car driver Vitor Meira.
His Indy Car career began in 1998 after winning the Indy Lights championship in 1997. Through the years he has driven for Forsythe Racing and had Alex Zanardi as a teammate in his second year with Mo Nunn Racing.
In 2003, Tony moved to Andretti Green Racing taking over for retiring race car driver Michael Andretti. Tony won the 2004 IRL championship and completed every possible lap for the season (3,305)! He is the first Indy Car driver to complete every lap in a season and that is amazing to me.
In 2011 Tony moved to the KV Racing Technology Team driving for team owner Jimmy Vasser.

Jim Seals and Dash Crofts are two musicians from Texas who were very popular in the 1970's, known as Seals and Crofts. Today, you can still hear some of their songs such as Hummingbird, Diamond Girl and Summer Breeze. Those were some of their biggest hits. Their music was inspired by their Baha'i faith beliefs which gave the songs some spiritual themes and lyrics.
The photographs here are from November 30, 1972 when Seals and Crofts played at UW Milwaukee. At that time I was working as a photographer for the Bugle American newspaper. It was in 1972 that Seals and Crofts released their second album, "Summer Breeze" which charted #7 with Billboard and they were awarded a gold disc for over one million copies sold.
After success in the 1970's they took a break, and in 1980 they lost their contract with Warner Brothers. A short reunion tour was held in 1991-1992 and they have appeared at Baha'i gatherings. In 2003, they reunited, recorded and released "Traces" with limited success.
Jim Seals lives in Nashville and Costa Rica where he has a coffee farm. Dash Crofts and his wife raise Arabian horses on the Crofts family farm in Texas.
