The Blue Cruise, August 2025

For the first time in almost 50 years I had nearly a front row seat to see some of my favorite performers.  These are definitely some "bucket list" pictures: from the Blue Cruise, aboard the NCL Gem, during August of 2025.

Heart, Richmond Virginia, October 1978

Heart (Ann and Nancy Wilson) at the Richmond Coliseum, October 1978.  The last shot in this series was exposure #38 on a 36-shot roll...  a photographer can't get any luckier than I did that day.

Footnote:  In June 2004 that shot was used in the liner notes of Heart's reissued Bebe le Strange album, with photo credit to Robert Bibee.  Oh, well.
