Turner, Zimmer, Bowie, Botany Pond & Ducks

I remember being mesmerized by a Tina Turner performance late one night on Chicago’s WTTW, perhaps Soundstage?

Not long after, during a high school German class field trip to Chicago, I bought David Bowie’s “Tonight” album at a Water Tower Place music store. 

As a first-year student at the University of Chicago, the high school German class visited me on campus and I remember gathering around Botany Pond. 

With Tina Turner and Bob Zimmer passing, just reflecting tonight on a happy connection of memories surfaced by present events.
