My blog this week is short but sweet thanks to chemotheraphy session #2 kicking me a bit. Not as bad as last week. I'm just sore and lethargic. Just hope it works with 4 more treatments to go.
I dug up the Midwest band Head East that has been around since 1974 and has had more members than my high school class in senior year. In other words a lot!
Formed by John Schlitt when he and several of the guys were attending the University of Illinois. But being a rock band, who knows how many days they were there!
They are known mainly for their hit "Never Been Any Reason" but continued trying and toured a lot. I also saw them in 1976 and should to dig those photos up.
Enjoy a look at the men in 1980.
Thanks,

At Summerfest in 1977 country superstar and legend Willie Nelson came for a show. Seems like everyone likes Willie as seen by the attendance and autograph seekers that night.
Willie is 90 years old now and still touring and playing at festivals!
Voice is a bit older sounding but he is still awesome.
Enjoy a look at Willie in 1977.

Been a busy time here with more bad bladder cancer bad news. The 6 BCG infusions we did on my left kidney, ureter and bladder did nothing as the cancer is still present...
So the next step is 2 chemotherapy drugs administered together once a week starting soon. If that doesn't work I don't know what's next.
Anyway, take a look at the great Loggins and Messina band in September of 1974 at Milwaukee's Performing Arts Center which is my favorite venue here.
Enjoy and have a great week.
Thanks,
Rich Zimmermann
