Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving with family and friends. Running a day late on our blog here because of the holiday.
We are taking a look at Terri Nunn and John Crawford's band Berlin, seen here at Summerfest on September 3, 2021.
Berlin became famous for their number one hit "Take My Breath Away" in 1986. You might remember that song from being in the movie Top Gun.
The band has been around since the 1970's with multiple musicians but Terri Nunn has been the constant member and lead vocalist.
Enjoy a look at the band from a nice summer night at Summerfest.
Thanks,

Willy Porter is one of Milwaukee's outstanding musicians who has been around since the early 1980's.
He has toured extensively across the country and Europe but keeps his base in Milwaukee after 11 albums.
Opening and touring with my favorite guitarist, Jeff Beck, and others like Sting, Paul Simon and Tori Amos, he keeps busy. Wish I had seen that Jeff Beck show with Willy!
In 2005, Willy was smart and started Weasel Records, a label of his own and he hasn't looked back after making several albums.
Together with the great vocals of Carmen Nickerson they are an awesome duo. Add Eric Madunic on bass, Dave Schoepke on drums and Dave Adler on keyboards and you have the full show.
Enjoy Willy and Carmen and his band whenever you can to see a great show!
If you feel like going to Ireland, you can go on Willy Porter's Ireland tour that he has done for a few years. Checkout www.willyporter.com for all good Willy Porter news.
Here are the photos from this year at Summerfest on September 4th. The Briggs and Stratton stage at Summerfest is one of the newer stages and it was great seeing him there.
During the show, I noticed the cutest photo opportunity for me! There was a young boy strumming his guitar standing on a bench in front of the stage. He was playing along with Willy and wearing his earmuffs and mask. Maybe a future musician we may see at Summerfest some day?
Enjoy these photos of the Willy Porter and his band.

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,
