PETER FRAMPTON

Back in 1975, I was working at Sherman Oaks Camera in LA. They gave me employee discounts on film and camera supplies. I was shooting assignments during lunch breaks and in the evenings, so the discount was welcome.  The store had a sound-room where they sold stereo equipment. There was…

SGT PEPPER OVER AND OVER

August, the height of summer. I’m listening to, and playing, a lot of music this time of year. Not too loud, cause I have all the windows open.  But it’s taking me back to the summer of 1967. Sgt Pepper had just come out. My best friend’s older brother took…

A COOL VENUE, LITERALLY

An ice rink in Amsterdam used to double as a music venue. It’s a beautiful place, the Jaap Eden Hall. They used to put floorboards and chairs out on the ice and give concerts. I saw Van Halen, ABBA, James Brown, and Fleetwood Mac there. As a newly arrived Californian,…

SUNSHINE FESTIVAL OF 1975

Summer is always filled with music festivals. Although it’s not really my thing, I have good memories of the Sunshine festival of 1975. Leaving my wife and newborn baby safely at home, journalist Constant Meijers and I went down the road to Anaheim. Rod Stewart & The Faces, Loggins &…

PROTEST SONGS

Protest songs, we need them more than ever. That’s why I’m so impressed with Bruce Springsteen (the last concert I ever photographed). Bruce is organizing a protest concert, Power to the People, on October 3rd. Together with Dropkick Murphys, Jack Black, Serj Tankian, Killer Mike, Taylor Momsen, the Linda Linda’s,…

CHER, WHAT A LIFE!

What a life! I was listening to Cher talk about her Memoir – Part one, on the Howard Stern show. Not for everyone, I know, but I do think he’s a great interviewer.  Cher talked about her youth, her upbringing, meeting Sonny at 16 years old, how her father took her…

VINYL IS HOT

Vinyl is hot.  It has been for a long time and seems to be getting more popular. You may have also heard of the youngsters who buy records without even owning a record player. To satisfy my curiosity, I looked up which albums are selling well in 2026. To my surprise –…

VAN MORRISON AT HOLLAND INTERNATIONAL BLUES FESTIVAL

Van Morrison will be performing at the Holland International Blues Festival in Grolloo, the Netherlands, on June 19. I photographed him live in Amsterdam in 1977. He was joined on the piano by Dr John, the Night Tripper. My favorite Van Morisson album was Astral Weeks and later Moondance. I also listened to the song Gloria about a million…
