Remember happening? Wasn&#8217;t it first popular about forty years ago? My adventurous friend and I began the evening with an early supper at Molyvos. We made it early because, as you all know, you have to present an id and a vaccination card. Molyvos is an old-fashioned, real restaurant. By old fashioned I mean their waiters are professional, not actors resting. I geared myself up with champagne, hoping we would gain entrance to Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had thought that I&#8217;d bought the Kidjo tickets from the Carnegie Hall box office. Wrong. I bought them from a shadow organization that gathers tickets and then sells them to dopes like me for a substantial increase. I paid $262.37 for two tickets in Row H. That&#8217;s the second to last section of the balcony. I was emailed two tickets with the original owner&#8217;s name. The original price was $34.00 each ticket.  So you understand the champagne.  We got in. The Carnegie Hall personnal were professional and pleasant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ang\u00e9lique Kidjo and her west African friends and artists created a dynamic evening. She  was as wonderful as promised. We were surrounded by very young people who knew all the songs&#8217; lyrics. Carnegie Hall was packed. I loved being there, a few feet away from the ceiling chandelier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"474\" height=\"745\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CarnegieHall-IsaacSternAuditorium_Endstage-IntZone_2020-07-09_2020-07-09_0856_07092020_132156_SVGC_tn.png?resize=474%2C745\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CarnegieHall-IsaacSternAuditorium_Endstage-IntZone_2020-07-09_2020-07-09_0856_07092020_132156_SVGC_tn.png?w=525 525w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CarnegieHall-IsaacSternAuditorium_Endstage-IntZone_2020-07-09_2020-07-09_0856_07092020_132156_SVGC_tn.png?resize=191%2C300 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption>You,who!
