I loved watching the "Young People's Concerts" on TV when I was a kid. I was taking piano and voice lessons, and much of what Uncle Lenny said connected with the musical technicalities I was learning. Alas, I can't get too nostalgic about Bernstein, because of his reputation for inappropriate behavior with young people. And I used to joke that he was conducting the orchestra with his hair, because his forelock flipped around as he gesticulated, and took the place of a conductor's baton.
