At St. Mary's High School in Lynn, Mass., he had proved as accomplished onstage as on the diamond, so he traded on his name to land bookings on Cape Cod and around Boston. He sang once on the Johnny Carson Show and cut several records, but it was clear that he was not destined to be the next Sinatra. Conigliaro could not have cared less...
