Back (way way back) in my University days, I started college in a private Lutheran school in north Indiana and Chicago became the cultural center of the universe. And well it should have. We had WFMT and Second City and the Midnight Special and on weekends in the spring we could bus into the Loop. I studied trumpet with a Chicago Symphony guy who taught out of a studio on Lakeshore and I would take the 6am train into the city and be his first lesson of the day at 9 as he had afternoon concerts and could only take 4 students on saturday. I would hang out and go to Orchestra Hall, train back, play pickup basketball until done in and get back to my fraternity house by 10. At that point it was endless french toast or pancakes until WFMT did the Sat. Midnight special and Tom Lehrer.
He always did a NEW MATH. I have no idea what made me think of this.
His genius is timeless and I wish those morons on CNBC would take a listen when they try and explain things.
