Free For All Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Sammy Spear was a trumpet player who became a conductor, and IIRC he was leading the orchestra but not playing for the theme "Melancholy Serenade". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenLowe Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 historical note: Sammy Spear lived in the same apartment building as my parents in the 1950s (maybe in Queens; not sure). on the day I was born my mother, in labor, was wheeled through the lobby. Sammy looked on and said: "Away she goes." the rest is history.***** *****some of the above is true, but most is complete fiction, though it is all possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
