When I was a girl
growing up and studying piano in St. Louis, the idea of having a chance to even
set foot in Carnegie Hall was but a distant dream. But you never know where
life will take you, and we have been to Carnegie Hall countless times over the
years and are headed there this evening.
When we purchased our
Neil Young tickets for this evening, we asked about accessibility seating, and
were instructed that they would send us tickets for seats in the balcony but
that we should call the morning of the concert to be reassigned. So this
morning I placed that call.
When you call
Carnegie Hall, you are offered the following choices:
To purchase tickets
or to make a donation, press 1
For schedule
information, press 2
For directions to
Carnegie Hall, press 3
When you press 3, you
are then offered options for directions for driving, directions by subway, and
parking information. But my father, may he rest in peace, a classical violinist
in his younger years who probably never imagined artists like Arlo Guthrie or
Neil Young on that stage, always gave me a somewhat different response to that
question:
How do you get to
Carnegie Hall? PRACTICE!!!!
Love,
Rebecca
