Last weeks blog, was on the Babe Ruth Band at Summerfest on June 28th, 2014.
After looking at all the photos that I took, I had to share some more with you. So, enjoy 12 more images of a very fun night and let's hope they come back soon to do it all again!
I didn't mention that the Babe Ruth song, "The Mexican", has been sampled and enjoyed by the break dancing community. One of my photos last week, showed one of the break dancers on stage with Alan Shacklock's son playing DJ behind him. Very cool stuff!
Have a great week and please join my Facebook page Rich Zimmermann Photography if you haven't already.
Thanks,

On June 28, 2014 we had the Babe Ruth band visit Summerfest here in Milwaukee, Wissconsin!! They came to America for one show.! Yes, they traveled all the way from England to perform the one show for us loyal fans!
I have photographed rock'n'roll for a very long time (1971) and have had the chance to meet all types of bands and rockers. Jenny, Alan and the entire Babe Ruth band are some of the nicest rockers I have ever met!!!! My request for photo credentials started weeks ago when I sent Jenny an email along with some shots of the show I photographed in 1975 when they played here with Roxy Music. Those photos are in a previous blog and are on my website.
Last week when they were here, I got together with them before the show and gave them a disc with images of the 1975 show. They loved it and invited me to come back after the show. After their terrific performance I went backstage and had some fun with the band. Then I went with them for an autograph signing session. They were so nice to everyone and signed everything possible! Not in a big hurry, they really signed everything they could!
Enjoy the photos of my new friends. I'm getting used to my new watermarking system. It will get better, so please bear with me as I work out the kinks. All photos are for sale on my website.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
