Awards and Honors: With a 30+ year photographic history of the band, one of her photos was selected to appear on the band's 25th anniversary t-shirts. She was also featured on VH-1's "Rock Collectors" program in January 2000 where her rock photography was displayed.
Question This is not so much a question as a comment. I was always in awe of Gary's guitar work in REO songs. IT is really what made their songs soar like they did, plus a very solid and driving bass and drums. Kevin's vocals were ok, but it was really the music that impressed me, especially the guitar work by Gary. I also always liked Bruce Hall's "Back on the road again" and his bass playing was always solid. Gary and Bruce should someday get back together.
