Radio
I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Typo in the headline!! Please add L (as in Lenny), it's MahLer. Best recordings, and an unforgettable conductor. I grew up in NYC going to Bernstein's Young People's Concerts and returned as an adult to see him conduct in New York and at Tanglewood. He was not, as some people thought, "histrionic" on the podium. The music moved through him.

Thanks for the eagle-eye corrrection, Jacqueline. And I completely agree about Lenny -- a terrific conductor, and I love watching him do it.
