Happy birthday Lennie,

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.
