More info concerning David Bowie, Edgar FroeseIn the mid-seventies David Bowie and Iggy Pop came to Berlin.
Edgar and Monika Froese helped them at various stages, up to TD sharing their Berlin rehearsal stage built in an old theatre with both of them.
There was even talk between David Bowie, Edgar Froese and Brian Eno of some musical collaboration, but there no publicly known musical output of this period.

In the years 1976 - 78 David Bowie and his family were recurring guests at our apartment in Berlin Schöneberg (Schwäbische Strasse 7).
While the adults were in deep conversation I have often played with his son "Zowie" for many hours.
On my seventh birthday in 1977, David brought me a "Mechanical Mighty Robot from Noguchi" as a birthday present,
saying: "It's a friend of Major Tom".
Thanks for your music and memories Mr. Bowie.
RIP

Did took a visit 4 weeks ago, my personal interst was to find something about Hauptstrasse 155 in Berlin.
No mention at all about Edgar Froese.
Exposed the synth which Brian Eno handed over to David Bowie.
David Bowie might meet Edgar on his cosmic adress
