Hemmer is just mad he wasn’t recognized.

Brings up the great Robert Merrill story—Merrill was out in NYC without his wallet, and tried to cash a check at a bank. The teller wasn’t an opera fan, but he told the baritone:

“If you’ll sing a few notes, I’ll know you’re a star”.

Merrill: “Sir, if someone offers to sing a few notes for one hundred dollars, you can be sure it isn’t Robert Merrill.”
