How Do Get To Carnegie Hall?

 

We watched a special on musician Jon Batise this evening.  He and his family are New Orleans natives and know music.  He has won many music  awards and is still humble to the common man.  He also his wife Suleika Jaouad tended to his wife was clinging to life with leukemia (now she is better).  If was a great wafch.

You heard the old joke on someone asking a beatnik in New York City how to get to Canage Hall and he replied, “Practice man, practice>”

I remembered that joke when the last part of Jon Batise special that he gave a concert at Carnegie Hall.  Jon has been practicing all his life.

It also reminded me of Carnegie Hallin 1964 when a bunch of my Navy Pal drove up from Lakehurst, NJ, to The Big Apple, Carnegie Hall to see a Folk Singers’ Hootenanny.   We saw plenty of well known folk singing groups, including Johnny Cash.  Which I thought Johnny Cash was a country singer, not a folk singer.
