I am thinking that I just may have to break down and get cable, at least I was thinking that last night. It's so difficult trying to watch television cuz I really do hate most of the shows. I finally turned to Ch. 13 and caught a program about Leonard Bernstein. It was great--I think he may have been my first real crush. I clearly remember watching Young People's Concert every week, without fail. I thought he was sooo handsome. Last night they were showing an aged Bernstein and was wondering, "is that what he looked like?" and finally they showed early Bernstein, the man I remembered. I did get a chance to see him in person and he was as powerful (I doubt I used that word back then) as I remembered him on television. I never knew anything about him, except his music. Boy, he had issues, and then some. I remember crying like a baby when I learned that he had died. I am sure that I have a couple of his records in "my vault". I often think of doing something with my old records, there is a lot of good stuff there, including some very old (1920's??) records.
