Yes he was really a good guy.   I worked fixing his basement with roland who i love dearly still. bless him, hope he had a lot of great kids.    Lionel was the music man and was very good to us and generous.   bless his heart.    I am sorry to be just now hearing about his passing altho i believe he is in heaven and has no time to worry about now.    2010   tell roland to call me sometime julianne2saw@yahoo.com    He was an urban pioneer, kilberg was, and across the street were the mandels, now where did kelly and the hubby go, houston/   and nils had a brownstone also.   it was a great place and time.    I hope all his tapes are being taken care of ,   he had it all.   Love J
