I totally don't agree with zen from south salem. I found this piece fascinating, and as it's my very first experience with Leonard Lopate, it inspired me to want to listen to his work even more. I'm also probably going to tweet about it and post it to my Facebook page. Keep up the good work, LP!! =)
I don't think this is uninteresting! Keep up the good work!
Ok Leonard you win you win, you have boared me to the point that I'll turn off the radio now, but please enough of this completely obscure irrelevant uninteresting nonsense. Please please ??
Say hi to Topsy - as she was when my date at the Exeter Spring dance in 1953
