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,

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.

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,
