[78-L] Now's your chance, boys and girls

Wed Nov 4 11:55:41 PST 2009

Mr. Beard, I'm beginning to think you may be venting some personal animosity 
toward Mr. Lenick.
Further, your use of scarcasm reflects little credit toward your abilty to 
discourse,
 even when it concerns the inane minutae that you're concerned with.

I am truly impressed at your almost encyclopedic knowledge of, as you refer 
to him, "Lenny's" career, even though you wrote that you "...have very 
little respect for (him) as a musician, a composer and a human being...." 
Everyone whom you dislike should be given such a high honor; please feel 
free to subtly, yet briefly, vent your anger toward "Lenny" in this thread, 
WHICH, I believe, began as a thread for Vogue Picture Records.

You find me anyone who hasn't referred to him as "Lenny" over the last 60 
years
and I'll buy you lunch. He even worked as "Lenny Amber" while doing
arrangements for Harms in his early years.

Incidentally, I have very little respect for Leonard Bernstein as a 
musician, a
composer and a human being. I find many of his later performances eccentric 
and
unlistenable, I find much of his symphonic work derivative and full of 
outright
plagiarism, and I think the man had blood on his hands. That aside, he still
turned out a couple of theatrical masterpieces.
