Rockin’ Road Trips hit up a special event at The Detroit Historic Museum recently. It was the closing of the “Travelin’ Man Exhibit” with a silent auction of Tom Weschler framed and matted photos. Tom has caught some moments and beautiful photos of the early days of Bob Seger.
Tom Weschler was the road manager for Bob Seger in that timeframe and he had access to some unbelievable photo opportunities. One of my personal favorite photos from Weschler’s exhibit is this photo of Bob Seger with Tom Petty.
The Detroit Historic Museum Closing Exhibit Event
The event was kind of like having the museum to ourselves. I checked out a bunch of Detroit Historic Museum exhibits in addition to the Bob Seger event. They had food, drink, and a silent auction of Tom Weschler’s photos plus a chat with Gary Graff and Tom Weschler plus a couple of well-known Detroit radio names, Steven Kostan and Mark Pasman. They talked about their early experiences with Bob Seger and his music. They also took questions from the audience and people shared their stories.
Bob Seger Day
The event was held on March 15th because it is Bob Seger Day. In 2004, Bob Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the governor of Michigan declared March 15th Bob Seger Day.
