Today I have a special guest on the podcast. For over a decade Theresa Eaman has been touching hearts and souls through her singing and moving performance at airshows. I first heard Theresa at the WWII Weekend in Reading, Pennsylvania and most recently at Sun N Fun. I am excited to have this lovely person, outstanding performer, and fellow aviation enthusiast on the show. Theresa Eaman is a patriot, outstanding entertainer, and accomplished WWII reenactor.

Theresa Eaman and I discuss:

  • Her unique ability to combine her love for music and aviation.
  • How she started singing at various aviation events.
  • The National Anthem.
  • Her favorite Jazz songs.
  • When You Wish Upon A Star – my favorite song and the unique story behind the recording.
  • WWII reenacting rewards and challenges.
  • Her upcoming events and how you can find more about her.
