At Summerfest in 1972, on the Schlitz Country Stage, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee performed.

The duo are folk legends, having worked with Woddy Guthrie, Big Bill Broonzy and touring constantly for years.

Brownie McGhee on guitar, and Sonny Terry on harmonica, are both self taught musicians! That's amazing and awesome!

They have appeared on Broadway, and as themselves, with Steve Martin, in the film, The Jerk.

When I photographed them, I did not know about them, but really enjoyed their playing and should have photographed them more!

The photos are old, and not the greatest, but the one photo of the old Schlitz Country Stage, is fun to see what is looked like back then! I'm so old!

Enjoy and have a great week.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
