It's been a bad week for rock'n'roll. We lost Gary Richrath of REO Speedwagon and Kenny Baldwin who was a stage manager at the Briggs and Stratton stage at Summerfest.

Kenny was one of the first people I went to see along with his buddy Rick Erickson at the Briggs stage every year at Summerfest. Good people running a good stage.

Gary Richrath I never knew but photographed years ago.

Enjoy a look at Gary of REO and have a good week.

Thanks,

Almost forgot my blog today!! It has been a very busy weekend with moving my Mom and going through lots of old stuff. Found my Dad's Army papers and his U. S. Army uniform!

Back to my rock'n'roll world here and we are looking at REO Speedwagon from a show at UW Oshkosh on September 4, 1972. They played with the Brian Lee Band and a band called Flash from England outside at UW Oshkosh.

REO Speedwagon is coming to Summerfest on June 28th with Babe Ruth opening the show. Should be an awesome show with 2 great bands I have not seen in years.

Enjoy some photos from a nice day for an outside concert.

Have a great week.

Thanks,
