Last week in my blog we looked at Dan Fogelberg in 1976.
This week we look at Dan making even better music with his friend Tim Weisberg, in Madison, Wisconsin in 1977.
Tim plays all sorts of wind instruments but mainly plays the flute.
These two guys make great music individually, but together, it is amazing stuff!
The photos here are from a very small show and I remember crawling around on the floor to shoot. Don't remember where in Madison or the exact date, so if any one knows please let me know for my records.
Yes, I know I could look it up, but it is more fun to hear someone's story of that night. So let me know if you know anything about this show!
Gotta go watch the Packers play Seattle now!!!
Thanks,

Dan Fogelberg in 1976 was an Arista Records artist that I had the pleasure of working with a little bit.
He was one of the nicest guys I ever met and every woman I know loved him! He had it all working for him at the time.
These photos are of a time when he was more of a rock star. The work he did with Tim Weisberg was about to happen and would change his style a bit.
Next week I will do Fogelberg/Weisberg 1977, so be sure to check that upcoming blog post.
Enjoy a little look into Dan when he performed in Milwaukee in 1976. Anyone remember where?
Stay warm everyone!
Thanks,

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Years with family and friends.
This week's blog features my friend Ed Sison who was the drummer for the band Truc, and of course my favorite local band The Ox.
My photos here are of Truc at Summerfest in 1972 on the main stage opening up the show for Jerry Lee Lewis.
Enjoy, and I hope you got one of my WMSE/Rich Zimmermann 2015 calendars! If not, message me and we can take care of that.
Thanks,

My favorite radio station, WMSE, 91.7FM or wmse.org, just finished their 2015 calendar! All the photographs in it are mine from the 1970's!
The photograph for August is of Leo Kottke, so Leo is featured today.
I have featured Leo before in Blog #89 but it's nice to look at Leo here again.
Most of these photos are from a show he did at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center in 1973. He was the opening act for Loggins and Messina that night.
I was part of an interview that was done before the show while Leo was putting his legs up relaxing. His reflection in the mirror and just a little bit of his guitar showing is neat to look at.
So, enjoy a look back at Leo in some of my favorite photographs.
If you need a calendar, that has more than 12, almost gallery quality prints in it just message me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or through the website here. They are $20.00 each.
It would make a nice Christmas present for anyone on your list who loves music!
Thanks,

Today's blog, is a revisit of David Bowie.
I did blogs #35 and #36 in 2012 on David Bowie, but I thought it was worth a revisit because of his current show running in Chicago.
"David Bowie Is", is the exhibit organized by London's Victoria and Albert Museum. Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art is the only U.S. stop for this exhibit of over 300 objects and photographs.
The exhibit is only until January 4th and tickets are $25.00. Tickets are limited and are purchased for a specific date and time. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling 312-397-4066.
Everyone I talk to who has seen this exhibit loves it and says I must go!
One of my followers sent me a copy of his ticket from the show that I photographed on October 13, 1974. You can see it below. Thank you so much for sending that. Enjoy another look at David Bowie's performance at the Milwaukee Arena.
My exhibit here is open 24/7 and prints can be ordered for Christmas for someone you love!
For the holidays, a limited edition, certified, archival, gallery print 16 X 24 is just $125.00 until January 1st!
Enjoy my little exhibit.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
