Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a very nice holiday season.

I had a pretty nice year of photographing Indy Cars and IMSA racing at Road America in Elkhart Lake.

Had an even better year with photographing some great musicians we haven't seen in a long time!! John McLaughin, Kenny Loggins and Steve Miller being the most notable. Jeff Beck or John is a hard choice as to which is the best guitar player!

Happy birthday to Kenny Loggins who turned 70 on January 7th! You would never know he is 70 the way he sounded this past summer.

Our Marty party last year with Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives was the first time we saw him do an acoustic show! Great seeing my friend Marty who is sounding better every time. His new album Way Out West is the best one yet.

So, here are a few favorite photos of the past year. See how many folks you can identify.

Well, I can finally cross off seeing Tears for Fears from my bucket list! I got to see them on May 13, 2017 with Hall and Oates! Next week we will look at Hall and Oates.

Tears for Fears has been around since 1981 and I have always like their music. This show was their third of the tour with Hall and Oates and they were awesome!! Personally, I think they stole the show. They rocked it!

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, both guitarists, did a great show as well as the rest of the band, of course. The encore song was "Shout".  It was just awesome!

Check out a few shots of the band taken from standing on a chair near the soundboard.

Thanks,
