Sammy the Drummer on the Jack Benny radio show

We finally learn his last name on the episode entitled "Jury Duty." He was Sammy Weiss. In the program he had an extended conversation with Jack because the other boys in the band were picking on him. Jack says that he is glad to know his last name. He always just called him "Sammy the Drummer." Here is a LINK to more information about him.
