SAMMY

(VANN DUKE AND SAMMY AUTOBIOGRAPHY) "SAMMY"
when I started performing as a ventriloquist it was for family and friends at holidays parties such as Christmas and thanksgiving.well as a young child my mother had very successful brother that was my uncle,I mean big cars and big house.so all the family members will meet at my uncle's house for the holidays and so me and sammy would provide the family live entertainment.I remember sammy and I performing by the big Christmas tree at my uncle's house,I was a kid,a kid in love waiting for the next family party.one day my mother said sammy needs a last name,so I gave the first sammy the name "holiday" because we were doing shows for the holidays.my mother loved a skit I wrote for the holidays where sammy screaming the words "out of control!" she would say "is holiday going to do..OUT OF CONTROL!!" she called the first sammy by his last name "holiday" when mentioning him.

"SAMMY MY FIRST"
in the beginning I had no partner because ventriloquist figures are very expensive,there was a ventriloquist catalog when I was a child that sold ventriloquist dummies,puppets, lessons,etc.every day I would show my mother this ventriloquist catalog but she would look at me sideways.but one day I was looking through the Sears catalog and saw ventriloquist dolls dummies,I ran to show mother and she did look,at the price! I saw sammy in the Sears catalog and my mother bought him for me! my mother was very happy with the price of the Sears catalog ventriloquist dummies that she bought me lots of them but my first sammy she bought for me I will be forever and ever be grateful for.
