Surprise Duet Wows Crowd Renowned ESPN sportscaster Chris Berman, left, sings “Walking A Thin Line” with pop-rock icon Huey Lewis Wednesday night at the Sun Valley Pavilion, giving the full house something a little extra to cheer for. Huey Lewis and the News played the Pavilion to kick off the annual Danny Thompson Memorial Golf Tournament in Sun Valley, which attracts numerous celebrities. Berman has ties to the valley—his parents have been coming to the area for many years and his brother, Andy Berman, is a co-owner of PK’s Ski and Sports in Ketchum. Photo by David N. Seelig
