Main Stage Crowd
Part of the main stage audience. I couldn't find a high place to get the whole audience in the shot. Behind those palm trees is the Pacific Ocean.

James Hunter
James Hunter and his band filled in at the last minute for Etta James, and but on a great show that morning, then played the big stage later in the day.

After the performance
Luc talks with fans after the Back Porch performance. Members of the band commented on how friendly the people were, and received many favorable comments on their performance. They were also surprised how many people knew who they were!

Showtime with The Electric Kings
Showtime with the Electric Kings on the Renaissance Stage. They also played the After-Party at the Renaissance Club in nearby Dana Point.

Electric Kings Back Porch Stage
The 'Backporch Stage' is a great feature of the festival. You can get up close to the performers, and hear them play in a more acoustic setting. Some performers have a 'question and answer' session with the fans. The Kings were on first that day - 10AM - and over 200 fans were waiting!

Cloudy Sunday
Sunday was not the usual California sunshine, but the fans were not in a bad mood, since there was so much good music going on that day.

Finally...
The Big Rhythm Combo sessionsI'm getting around to updating this part of the site.
There are a lot of pictures from recording sessions I've been wanting
to put on here.
Some of these images go back quite a while, none have
been seen or published any place else. I took most all of them, and are
not 'staged' but casually posed and insome cases taken on the fly. Here's a shot from the Big Rhythm Combo sessions. L/R: Fred Kaplan, Kid Ramos, Lynwood Slim, and Marc Tee.
