Here are a few of the photos I took at the Rockin' 50s Fest II in Green Bay, WI. I regret I didn't have my camera with me more often. I trust other fans will be posting pics on their own websites -- so the bands I missed shooting will be represented elsewhere.
It was a GREAT week -- some of the musical highlights (for me) being The Texas Playboys, Hank Thompson, Levi Dexter & Magic (with Slim Jim Phantom), Deke Dickerson (and the Dave and Deke Combo reunion show) and Big Sandy backed up by the amazing Los Straitjackets.
Scroll down to see ALL the pics....

Hey -- I didn't get any pictures of ME! Aw shucks. If you were at the show, I hope you had as great a time as I did. And if you have any pics of the event on YOUR website, let me know! If you missed it -- be sure to be there next time!
