As I grew up in the Milwaukee rock scene, my favorite bands were The Ox and Short Stuff. Ok, I can't forget The Electric Shit Band, Woodbine and The Hound Dog bands.
Life was good for me during high school days in 1971 and 1972 with photography and rock'n'roll!
When The Ox was breaking up, another band was forming called Bobby and the Helmets! Bobby, was Bob Metzger, the great guitar player from The Ox. These days he plays guitar in Leonard Cohen's band. The Helmets are everybody else in the band I guess!
They were all best friends with each other and terrific musicians. Most of them are good friends of mine.
Here is a look at them playing at the Catacombs coffehouse on January 24, 1972.
Have a great week.

By now, all the race cars have been packed into their trucks and are headed back home. Milwaukee IndyFest 2013 is over and it was a good one!
Ryan Hunter Reay won the race for the second year in a row and Helio Castroneves had a great race finishing second. Helio had a good idea. They substituted Wisconsin State Fair cream puffs for the traditional podium champagne!
Marco Andretti, won the pole position and had a few problems during the race. In the end it was Ryan's day.
Graham and Bobby Rahal looked frustrated and couldn't find any speed.
Sage Karam, won the Indy Lights race and was fast all weekend.
Alex Tagliani spun his car right in front of me in turn 4 during the race!
Oriol Servia and JR Hildebrand were looking for Indy Car rides walking around pit lane.
Tony Kanaan, our Indy 500 winner, was very busy with the media and fans. He had a pretty good race.
It was good to see Sebastian Bourdais back in an Indy car. It was the prettiest car on track but full of problems!
Some of the race's highlights are shown in the attached photos.
Have a good week and if you would like a copy of any photo please contact us.
