mothers and music

[cyril robinson <lunar...>]

In the current issue of "Alumni News" of he Bronx H.S. of Science, appears 
the following under the headline, "Steve Karman '54 recalls classmate Bobby 
Darin in New book, "Me an BobbyD."

        Steve's older brother Arthur, a physician and professor of pathology at 
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, graduated from Science in 1946, so 
although Steve was accepted at the HS of Music and Art, his parents 
insisted that he attend Bronx Science,, to follow a professional career 
path: "I can see the headline now: NICE JEWISH BOY WANTS TO BECOME A 
MUSICIAN --MOTHER HAS HEART ATTACK!"  Actually, both mother and son escaped 
from that fate. Karman, after a time in the Darin band, entered the 
advertising world as a jingle writer,  for example, "When you've said
Budweiser, you've said it all."
