It’s a very special edition of Time Signatures with Jim Ervin, as Erv welcomes longtime Detroit Free Press Photographer, Wilson Lindsey for a chat about his decades working behind the lens for the Freep as well as his early stint on the Freelance side of things. It was in those early years that Wilson dabbled in professional wrestling photography, which led to a job at the Free Press where he had occasion to shoot with a young Cassius Clay (Pre-Ali years!), and also at the Fifth Dimension in Ann Arbor where he happened to catch a young guitar phenom by the name of Jimi Hendrix. He also shares his stories of the early years at Idlewild, located NW lower Michigan. Only a handful of episodes remain in Season Five, so don’t miss this one!
