Throughout his career, Leonard Bernstein exuded confidence and poise, but it required a dedicated staff of one to make it look that way. In 1981, Charlie Harmon was hired to manage the day-to-day parts of Bernstein's life, serving as his social director, gatekeeper, valet, music copyist, and itinerant orchestra librarian. As Harmon chronicles here, his all-encompassing job would involve endless travel, trying to get Lenny to meet a deadline for writing an opera, and contending with intestinal parasites picked up in Mexico, but also unforgettable late-night piano duets with the maestro.
