I love Jay Blakesberg! I had the pleasure of meeting him 3 years ago at the Park City Song Summit and the joy of becoming friendly with him! He is an inspiration, a rogue and a super talented and cool dude who has taken pictures of people like Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Sinead OConnor, Prince and a million other people!
