Everybody said goodbye to Edward Hill.
Once, in the mid-1970s, Edward Hill sang in Krasnodar in the opera theatre. The auditorium was so crowded that additional chairs were displayed in the passages. Our seats were somewhere in the geometric center of the hall. A nice couple is about 30 years old.
In the entrance, as usual, many went, who smoked, who in the buffet. Neighbors also left. Somewhere with the third ringing, on the side, a messy neighbor came across. one one.
Until everything in the buffet drinks will not break away - she broke through, as if apologizing.
The light in the hall was extinguished, and the scene, on the contrary, filled with bright light. Smiling Hill continued his speech. One song, a second...and finally, under the ovation of the joyful audience, Edik sang the long-awaited – In the woods on the hole lived Winter in the bush...
Suddenly, on the side of the side passage, half a whisper was heard:
Liu – u-u-u-sya
Here is the cattle, our neighbor whispered and pulled his head into his shoulders.
- Liu-U-U-Sya, raise the ru-u-u-ku - continued to pull Lusin satellite.
Everyone in the team turned their heads to the left.
Hill silenced and smiled even wider. The silence and the orchestra.
To the lover of theatre buffets, lavishing between the additional chairs, a woman was already flying. Probably the administrator. He saved Hill.
"Young man," he called the man, "go up here on the stage!
He was prepared to go through the passage.
He told me where the stairs were. Feeling on the stage, he forgot about his Lucy, rushed to kiss Edward Hill and almost dive into the orchestral pit. Hill caught him and brought him to the microphone:
Call your Lucy!
He was so upset that the dynamics sounded.
Ready to fail out of shame, Lucy bended halfway and hid her face in her palm.
Then Hill asked Lucy to raise her hand. Under the applause of the public, a joyful man bowed to his place.
Do we continue? I asked Hill’s audience.
First of all!! Around the hall
Hill made a sign to the conductor.
At the forest on the shovel lived Winter in the shovel...
His memory is bright.
