Welcome to a new year in Rock and Roll images by Richard E. Aaron. I wanted to start this New Year with an image from a holiday past in New York City. I was shooting a session with the group Styx when Tommy Shaw had an interview to do at the Daily News Building. After the interview we took the elevators to the lobby where Santa was sitting and talking to anyone who want to give him their list for Christmas. I looked at Tommy and with out a word he knew what I was thinking as said a big “no.” But after coaxing, I managed to get Tommy to sit on Santa Lap. I wanted to do a holiday pose but this was the best I could capture since Tommy really did not want to be where he was sitting. Many years later Tommy told me he could not believe that he actually sat on Santa’s lap. That was a more of an “I wish I never did that.”
