Title: Happy birthday Lennie,
Post by: Harrowby Hall on August 25, 2018, 08:24:17 AM

Today is Leonard Bernstein's 100th birthday. Not only is the BBC celebrating this at the Proms, but Google have an animated logo with music from West Side Story.

I thought that maybe I was incorrect in thinking he had died some time back!

Today is still his 100th birthday - he just is not around to celebrate it ... but we are.
