I enjoyed your Tina Turner story, and I admired Tina and her work very much. Here’s an interesting story about her schooling: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/may/28/tina-turner-school-museum-tennessee?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Thank you for the link, Kathy. Great video of her talking about the school. I will post a Note with the link. Good messages about the importance of education and about determination!

You are right, Louise, that Tina Turner was simply "electric"! I was younger when I heard her voice on the radio, not yet even a teenager, but I could tell there was something powerful about her energy, her hair, her beautiful strong body...and then I saw her movie and she became a role model for me. I was not a singer, but she was such a triumphant, positive lady and I felt I could do anything in the world when I heard her. You were my influencer, Ms. Tina Turner!

Louise, I did NOT see you in the crowd...maybe if you give us a timestamp? :) I see you have the shirt from that concert! I just got chills!

It amazes me how one individual had such an impact on people around the world. You can see the reverberations on social media - the tributes just keep coming. I hope she knows how much she was loved.

(Timestamp? Ha ha ha. I was at that concert, but no, I would simply be a pixel on your screen. ;-)
