I also photographed Lou backstage with Garland Jeffreys in November 1979. Garland had just given a concert at the Bottom Line and Lou was visiting after the show. If you don't know Garland's music, you should. Wild in the Streets is probably his best known song, but he is still an active, exciting performer, with a new CD coming out soon. Can't wait! He'll be playing a show in New York this fall. Of course, you can find videos of his songs and performances on YouTube. Go. Listen. It's worth it.

Here's Garland posing backstage at the Dr. Pepper Music Festival in Central Park in 1977.
And here he is performing at the Bitter End in 2007. The place was packed. And yes, he's still a man who wears many hats.
