The Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl

This list of musicians covers a wide spectrum of music and types of photos. Most photographs are black and white and were taken onstage. Also available are color photos (look for a C) of some of the artists and there are a few I have only color. I also have a number of off stage photos (indicated by an asterisk*).

I started photographing musicians in the early 1970’s in Austin Texas at The Armadillo, at the original Antone’s Home of the Blues, worked for Showco Sound on Eric Clapton’s 1974 tour, other clubs and concerts, various arenas and stadiums and have continued photographing through Eric Clapton’s Pilgrim tour in 2001. Many of these were taken with the benefit of stage passes or access to the front/back of the stage. I have photographed some artists on different occasions, such as Stevie Ray Vaughan/Double Trouble from the mid 1970’s through April 1990. Other performers were photographed once when they passed through Austin or San Antonio, Dallas or Houston. Photographs of Bruce Springsteen were taken in a number of venues in several states over a number of years, the same for Eric Clapton and various musicians who played with him.
