Mr Bernstein happened to deplore being called "Lenny" by people who did not actually know him personally, but which of us doesn't miss him?

Best,

Alistair

My father knew him well.  He worked for him at Amberson Productions in NYC.  I met him, on many occasions as I was told, but have no memory of it since I was just a toddler.  But my parents always referred to him as "Lenny."  I don't think he would mind if I referred to him as "Lenny," do you?

As your father knew him well and worked with him, no, I don't suppose he would - but then I wasn't specifically suggesting that he would in your case, in any case...

I personally think...

Maybe you could write a song about what you personally think?

That might be playing to your strengths...
