A
sprinkling of irreverence: During a concert tour in 1981 to perform his Kaddish, Lenny and I flew together from Munich to Zurich. While Lenny, in his elegant cape with his white silk scarf and silver cigarette holder, took his seat in the front row of first class, I made my way through the curtain into the economy section. Everyone seated already, the curtain suddenly opened and Lenny, peeking through, called out in his smoky voice: "What's the matter, darling, can't you afford to fly first class?" Swallowing my pride, I answered with a laugh: "Sure I can, Lenny, but you can't afford to fly economy!" The curtain closed quickly and we took off. - Hildegard Behrens |
