Dear All Milt Kamen is not a well known name in Britain; however, I do recall him appearing on a late night TV chat show once and he was asked what he did before he took up comedy. He replied "I was a symphony musician, I played French horn" When asked why he gave this up he replied "you sweat your guts out in the concert hall every night and then read in the newspaper the next day that the conductor did a great job!"
