He often stayed up until 4 or 5 a.m. writing music, and then he\u2019d sleep until the following afternoon. \u201cHe just didn\u2019t sleep,\u201d says Jamie Bernstein, of New York City. \u201cIt\u2019s amazing how much you can get done if you don\u2019t sleep! \u201cHe was the kind of person who had an engine that couldn\u2019t be shut off. He was just going all the time and his mind was just clicking away.\u201d<\/p>\n Now Jamie Bernstein does what she can to keep her dad\u2019s legacy alive and make sure people don\u2019t forget about \u201cCandide,\u201d \u201cMass\u201d and \u201cWest Side Story\u201d (which director Steven Spielberg has announced plans to remake).<\/p>\n Younger people don\u2019t know Bernstein as well as their parents and grandparents do, she says. So she hopes her traveling show inspires a few people to dig deeper and give his work a listen.<\/p>\n Still, she says, it\u2019s inspiring that so many fans\u00a0turn out\u00a0 to see\u00a0\u201cLate Night with Leonard Bernstein.\u201d It shows that he won\u2019t likely be forgotten anytime soon. \u201cI love sharing stories about my dad,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I love that people still remember him and his contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Leonard Bernstein’s daughter shares his music, story in Fort Myers Charles Runnells, The News-Press\u00a0 Feb. 14, 2017 The show gets its title from Leonard Bernstein\u2019s famous insomnia.
