Curious City question from Tracy Miller: How many people in Chicago were born here?

Played on the piano in music practice room F at the Harold Washington Library Center in Chicago on November 6, 2015.

East of Here, variation no. 1

Untitled Piano Sketch

This was in a box of reel-to-reel tapes, mostly from the 1960s, which belonged to my aunt. This tape was in an unlabeled box, and it's mostly blank — except for this portion, where some music can be faintly heard in the background, muffled in tape noise. It sounds like "If You Ever Leave Me" by Jack Jones, which peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard adult contemporary singles chart on Feb. 23, 1968.
