Cool rock n roll photos

[SJLee]

He’s pulling out of what used to be the Tinker St Cafe parking lot in the fourth picture. I used to date a girl that was a dishwasher there. That’s also the first place I ever performed in front of people. I actually had a LOT of firsts in that town. I think the old Cafe is either a photo studio or real estate office now. I love seeing these old shots of Woodstock.

Thanks for sharing that insight. It’s great to hear stories of people who have been there. Part of what makes the interwebs great.

I had no idea!
He’s even mo’ cooler in my book now!

Here you go!
Gary Sinise & The Lieutenant Dan Band

Quite unexpected isn’t it?

And all his gigs are for charity. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Sinise is also one of the four founders of Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago. He's a righteous dude.

Plus he plays a Variax. How cool is that?

Thanks for that Greg. I’ve always liked Gary, and hearing the details you’ve provided makes me appreciate him all the more.

The Rockers vs the Mods riots, Brighton England 1964. (Later fictionalized by the Who on the album/movie Qdadraphenia). For context, 1964 was the year the Beatles released She Loves You and I wand to Hold Your Hand.

Not your father’s Dixieland Jazz Band...though, Pete Fontaine would certainly approve!

I love Buddy Miles! I have a set of Rogers drums because of this kit on this album cover.

Jammed with Buddy Miles back in the early 90's. Certainly a nice guy and fun to play a musical compatriot of Jimi's. But the guy was way too immersed into the R & R lifestyle to last very long.

Yeah, too bad about Buddy. RIP.
