Many years ago, when I was but a mere child, I distinctly remember Mr. Anoush Krikorian about to perform in front of about a thousand people at a St. Illuminator’s Cathedral Hantes in the now infamous Audubon Ballroom in NYC. As you can imagine the hall was full of the sounds of people happy to see each other and trade stories. Anoush was upset that the crowd was noisy especially when he was going to perform. He assertively announced that if they did not stay quiet he would not perform and go home. Incredibly their was a resounding hush throughout the gigantic hall and Anoush began his series of humorous stories, recitations and serenade on his duduk. Shortly after his wife, degeen Satenig, daughter Sossi and son in law Johnny Kadian did their dance routine in full costume to the thunderous applause of all present. Who said no one can keep a large crowd of Armenians quiet? They obviously never met the legendary Anoush Krikorian! Oh, what wonderful years, what wonderful memories.
