1322. No Stern remarks

When agreeing to teach Oscar Shumsky
Mr. Zimbalist's skull wasn't numbsky
Efrem said, "I'll be fuct,
He can play and conduct!"
And the student became a close chumsky.


Shumsky (1917-2000) was a fine American violinist and conductor.  One of his teachers was Russian-born Efrem Zimbalist (1889-1985.)  Zimbalist was one of the greatest violinists ever but his son, actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr, got more fame.  Sigh...
