My wife's cousin Jimmy has always been a big time rocker! Some of her earliest memories of Jimmy involve sitting in his bedroom in the early 70s with Alice Cooper blaring over the speakers so loud that she expected to either lose her hearing or go insane.

Jimmy never did turn it down.   "From the time he started assembling his first thoughts we knew he was destined to be a rock star",  my wife said.

James (Jimmy) Pappaconstatine of the Portland area has made the rounds, with both a guitar and a camera always within an arms length.  You may have seen his band, "Reverse Cowgirl" perform at a saloon in southern Maine.  You may have seen this dude with the long curly hair and funky glasses standing to the side of the stage at a Waterfront Concert, trying to get  that perfect shot.

Over the years this rock photog has taken some pretty impressive pictures, lets check a few of them out!  All photos used by permission.

Remember this guy? Mick Brown, Ted Nugent's drummer, who took a golf cart from security on the Bangor waterfront and went for a drunken ride. It was July of 2012, and Mick made the headlines with his arrest.
