This blog is going to be short and sweet! There is so much going on around here during retirement! Wait until you all retire and are as busy as me and having as much fun too!
On July 14-17, 2022, the WeatherTech International Challenge with Brian Redman will feature some of the Dan Gurney stable of Eagle race cars!!!!!! Very, very cool idea of Ron Nelson's! Checkout his website www.elkhartlakesracingmuseum.com for more event information. To see a bunch of Eagles together will be awesome thanks to Ron Nelson, Justin Gurney and the Dresang family. Jacque Dresang still runs an awesome Eagle or two and they are beautiful. One is Mark Donohue's.
Dug up a few photos of the old days at Road America and the Milwaukee Mile.
Enjoy, and buy your tickets now for a great weekend at Road America!
Thanks,

Blog #384 Alice Cooper at the BMO Harris Pavilion- Milwaukee, Wisconsin 10-1-2021
October 18, 2021
I finally took another item off of my bucket list by photographing Alice Cooper and his band on October 1, 2021. They played at the BMO Harris Pavilion on the Summerfest grounds.
I have wanted to photograph the show that I have seen before with my wife. It is a visual treat and his band members are some of the best musicians in the world!
Nita Strauss is rated the #1 female guitar player and I can see why. She is busy with Alice Cooper and also worked as the guitar player with the Arena Football team KISS, owned by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS!
Chuck Garric, Ryan Roxie, Tommy Henricksen are all great (gunslingers) guitar players. They play with Alice Cooper and all have other bands and projects when not working with Alice. The drummer, Glen Sobel, is the same in that he has other projects as well.
The band has always been top notch and a family affair with Alice's wife of many years, Sheryl Goddard Cooper, in the act. She is an accomplished ballerina fits into the stage show very well.
Thank you to the people at Summerfest for letting me photograph Alice Cooper. If you get the chance go see the show, you won't be disappointed!
Enjoy a look at the band having fun.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann

On September 1, 2021, the Summerfest music festival started up again in Milwaukee after a one year absence due to COVID-19. It was great to be back in the house!
This blog is on one of the MANY bands I photographed. Night Ranger who played on September 3, 2021.
Night Ranger has been around in various forms since 1979. Jack Blades keeps the band rocking. The show is high energy and the guys really work it as you can see in the photos.
They were working the crowd with some of their legendary songs like "Sister Christian".
I will let the photos do the talking now. Enjoy a look at them having fun and sweating it out while rocking the house with possibly more energy than what they had in 1979!
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
