Door County Icon Series: A converstaion between Al Johnson and Norbert Blei
Good friends and Door County Icons Al Johnson and Norbert Blei cover allot of material in this almost hour-long discussion of Door County past and present. Among the topics: the “counter culture” at Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant, Emma Husby, Eddie Valentine, Wink Larson, Baldy Bridenhagen, Ingert Johnson and the Johnson family, condominiums and of course - goats on one’s roof. Barbara Luhring listens in to this fascinating and many times hilarious conversation. You should listen in too.
This is a large MP3 file and will take a while to download on dial-up.

I have just finished listening to this podcast. It was fun and I enjoyed hearing the history of Sister Bay and Door Cnty from Al’s perspective.
I worked at Al’s when I was 19 washing dishes in the fall of ‘95 and ‘96 and always look back at my time there with fondness.
Please pass on my regards to Al, Lars, Rolph and Annicka.
