[78-L] Sinatra Question (and the answer)

[Donna Halper]

It was asked:  "Does anyone out there know why Frank Sinatra says, "Not 
now Moose." It seems to have been Jersey-born and raised saxophonist 
Herbie Hamer.  (Some sources spell it "Haymer.") Hamer played on 
sessions with a number of major artists, but his career was cut short by 
a car accident in 1949.
