The journalists were much interested in who received more
honoraria. The answer was that Al Jarreau received more honoraria. And
the jubilee concert devoted to Konstantin Orbelyan was held without
honoraria, but much more was spent on its organizational part. The
representatives of the committee told funny news – Al Jarreau’s shoe
maker was an Armenian.
