Concert Portraits

Hey Now:

Here's the card I created to pass out as I shoot bands and individual musicians. Have a few more pics up on Will Tucker's web site from his CD release concert he's an unbelievable guitarist for a 15 year old.

Russell Wheeler, the subject of this portrait, plays the Hammond B3 in the Will Tucker Band.

Hope to get a few more model releases so I can have a series of cards with different portraits of various artists.

I have a position (unpaid at the moment) as the staff photographer for a new quarterly start-up music magazine, Memphis Metro Music, which has been pretty fun so far.

Peace

UVA v Maryland, Scott Stadium, Section EZ2, Row J, Seat 6, $9.00

My first UVA game since I was high school. UVA football was horrible in the '70s. But they had an annual band day at the stadium. Where a whole bunch of high school marching bands would perform in mass at half time. It also gave us a chance to sneak in some airline bottles and have a couple drinks at the game before heading back to Chester.

Sam, a friend and sports radio employee, and I went to this game. I believe UVA returned a Maryland on-side kick back for a touchdown. On the way back home to Norfolk the belt on the Olds broke. But the car and lights kept going until we found a station off of 295 that was open, but barely, the guy was getting ready to close the garage but said he had one belt and would put it on. Which was really cool. So we grabbed a beer and waited.

Mel Torme, Chrysler Hall, Norfolk, Va., Orchestra 11, Row J, Seat 11, Comp Tickets.

I won two tickets through Norfolk State University's radio station WNSB while sitting in my graduate teaching assistant office at ODU. "Be the third caller and win tickets to Mel Torme..." "What the hell I thought," dialing.

I took the daughter of preacher man to this concert and we ended up going out a few times.

The best date we went on was to the Virginia Historical Society's Garden Party the following spring. That was fun. A hot large breasted blonde with a long hair hippy guy at the Virginia House rubbing elbows with the stuffy aristocrats of Virginia. What a blast.

Widespread Panic, The Boathouse, Norfolk, Va., General Admission, $8.00

I'm sure your either tired of reading or will get tired of reading it, but, nonetheless, The Boathouse at Bessie's Place was a great great venue to see a band. The place held about 2,000 people or so and would get hot as bloody hell even in the winter time.

Here's a facebook page attempting to organize a grassroots effort to save the Boathouse.

This would have been one of my first concerts after Sandy and I went our separate ways. And since it appears it was bought at the door this was more than likely a spur of the moment decision hatched from the deep recesses of the tavern and I went along as a passenger because l hadn't started driving again.
