"Lenny wouldn't let us have a party without making an entrance of his own," he said, referring to the sonic-boom thunderclaps that greeted the crowd. Code 000.

Incanus 5,861 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Lovely! Now he has donated both Aaron Copland and Leonard Bernstein sculpture to Tanglewood. And as the daughter of Bernstein said it does capture Lenny's likeness and spirit extremely well.

KK 3,310 Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 I saw this on Facebook and didn't realize Williams donated the sculpture. All the better!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,132 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 A nice gesture. But the sculpture really doesnt look like Elmer at all.
Marian Schedenig 10,527 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 There's another photo from a slightly different angle where I'd agree that he's not immediately recognisable. But in the picture above, it looks spot on.
Incanus 5,861 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 From the side he looks like Elmer but from the front like Leonard. Two faces for the price of one!
Marian Schedenig 10,527 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I should have read Steef's post more carefully...
