The
Ghana proverb “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi," translates: "It is
not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten". Although I have not forgotten, I attended the July 15, 2017 Los Angeles
Philharmonic concert featuring Mr.Tony Bennett - 90 year old Civil Rights
icon and legendary crooner. See pic. The surprises of the evening were
an audience joining introduction of Mr. Bennett by PBS host Tavis Smiley
and guest appearance by Lady GAGA for several duets. What an evening !!!!!!!!!!!! and thanks to Naomi Rainey, president of Long Beach NAACP chapter.
Unfortunately,
i could not also attend the Inner City Youth Orchestra Los Angeles
annual concert at Disney Concert Hall same night..I felt unsure of
another opportunity to see Mr. Bennett perform live again. Seen at the
concert and briefly chatted with Decathlon 1956 Olympic Silver medalist
and 1960 Olympic Gold medalist Rafer Johnson during intermission.
