He would let me nurse two 75 cent Cokes all evening, appreciating that I didn't try to purchase alcohol with a fake ID.  He knew how to encourage young jazz fans.  The other thing I remember about Lennie's-on-the-Turnpike was the smoke.  It was tiny and the cigarette smoke really filled up the room by the end of the night.  How things change.
