(引き続き 現地で書いたメモより)

4-5 persons were lined there for to get ticket.
But counter's window shut down yet.
I and they were waiting there for open it.
Soon opened it . A few person got a ticket.
the fee was about $130.I thought It was expensive.
before I came here I looking for B.B King's Live
House.I did it.That night,Players were
CHICAGO REUNION that was BLUES BAND.
I was interested.
I did not know which shuld I go.
But musical was 1st priority for me.
I was on this line.
It was a time for open the theater.
Many people came on the entrance.
Then a man came to me.He said "Are you
Japanese? I can give a ticket for you.
Can you pay for this.the seat is
near the orchestra pit.Good seat."
I said "I can pay for it $110."
He said "It's OK. Good. Give you the
reservation slip. Here you are."
I guess he was a rich man,maybe.
He said to me. He visited japan 30
times.He likes watching scoore .
He was a good man and with wife.
And he said "how about your
tomorrows schedule ?"
I said "I'd like to go to watch The US OPEN
TENNIS, but I could not get any ticket. "
He told me, how to get a ticket.
He called a his friend by the Black Berry.
Soon,He said "It's OK. You have to go
the US OPEN Studium at 10 am.
And stand nere the entrance ,then your one finger
indicate to the audience.
You will get a GRAND ticket.
Then we watched and enjoyed "SPRING AWAKENING".
It was good musical.But I could not understand
perfectly.

======

と、ここでメモは日本語に替っている。 たぶん英語の思考回路が
疲れたのだろう。

==
彼は、わざわざ知り合いに電話をしてくれた(ダフ屋と知り合い
なのか?)。ticketの相場を聞いてくれた。
GRAND ADDISION=$50~500とのこと。
No.1コートとNo.2コートを含む場合が高値とのこと。
駅から降りて来る人に向かって 人指し指を一本立てるのが
「1枚欲しい」という意味だということなどを、イラストを
書きながら教えてくれた。
さて、Musicalの方は、なんとなくStoryはわかるが、当然と
いうか、Detailは、言葉を掴みきれない。周りの人が
笑うが、意味がわからない。結構、きわどい場面もあり
シリアスな内容だ。
演奏は実にsimpleな構成で、指揮者を兼ねたPiano、
guitar、チェロ、E・BASS、Drumsだ。
ギターがシンプルだが、とても効果的で、クラシック的な
演奏をする。チョーキングなど使わない。

演技者のコーラスもSoloもGood.CDが発売されている
くらいなので、本格的だ。
8pmから 間に休憩をはさんで、10:30pmまで。
4年前にCHICAGOを観たときよりも、はるかにいい席だった。
でも、カメラはダメとのことで、持っていたが、
撮ることはしなかった。

==

ということで、Unluckyな日であり、かつ名前も
聞かなかった人との出会いがあったりで、
終わってみれば、Luckyな日でした。

私の英語力では表現できない部分は、また記憶を
辿りながら、補足してみたいものです。
なんだか、日本人で良かったなあ、と感じた夜でした。
