"In childhood, Bernstein was an omnivorous consumer of music, blissfully unaware of the distinctions between high and low, élite and pop."

Any tribute to Leonard Bernstein would be incomplete without a copy of Tom Wolfe's Radical Chic, the Black Panther's party at Lenny's. “I’ve never met a Panther—this is a first for me!” http://nymag.com/news/features/46170/#print …

I saw interview with Mr. Bernstein done shortly before his death. What I remember most vividly was his saying as he held a lighted cigarette, something to effect of: "For all of my success, I've never been able to stop THIS!" (referring to SMOKING) which contributed to his death.

Bernstein was FORCED into quite a # of ENCORES as audience REFUSED to call-it-a-night! Leonard remains a HERO of mine. He & my parents taught me 2 appreciate classical music, travel, different music forms & BEAUTY! Happy birthday, Mr. B.! Hope to see you On Other Side.

We had box-seats close to stage amongst The Elite dining on treats and sipping wine from their picnic-baskets. Bernstein was as always PASSIONATE, EXPRESSIVE as he pulled EVERYTHING from orchestra! Well-dressed people SHOUTED, WAVED THEIR ARMS thru several curtain-calls!

Children were DRESSED, APPROPRIATELY to be guests of Mr. Bernstein as well as to be on TV. Well-behaved, exhibiting RAPT ATTENTION to everything he said. Had we lived in NYC I DEFINITELY would have attended his telecasts! FASCINATING stuff. What a BLESSING he continues to be!
