From the beginning, Leonard Bernstein was my North Star

Friend. Music Mentor. Genius.
The world knew Leonard Bernstein as the most celebrated conductor, composer, teacher, of the 20th century. I knew him as a friend, hero, music mentor – who welcomed me into his family, took me under his wing, and somehow made time in his life for me and my family for over 25 years. Knowing in my late teens that none other than Leonard Bernstein was in my corner, giving me pep talks, and setting the bar: "I expect great things from you Pack," before I had a clue what my life in music would be, has made all the difference.
It's summed up best by this song written by his daughter Jamie and me, that she sang to him for his Kennedy Center Honors Award in 1980:
"Thank you thank you, for the big heart / making room for everyone is the hardest part"
— David
