Thank you very much, Joe, for posting this. Doc led a band composed of mostly Tonight Show Orchestra veterans at the Great Allentown Fair in Allentown, PA, not long after The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson ended its run in 1992. Candy Candido, who Doc mentions, served as the Fair's "Ambassador" for many years, which is where I got to meet him. I remember him briefly entertaining my very young daughter with both his falsetto and basso profundo voices decades earlier. His trademark: "I'm feelin' mighty LOW!"
Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on the NBC television network in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on the CBS Television Network in the 1990s. Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates in prime time.
Carl Hilding "Doc" Severinsen (born July 7, 1927) is an American retired jazz trumpeter who led the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
I really miss Doc and Tom Snyder. Tom Snyder was one of the best late night talk show hosts. RIP
Doc and Johnny adlibing about Thanksgiving is still one of the best TV spots of all time.
Two gigantic masters of timing

Two of my heros.
Doc is such a cool guy, I wish he’d write a memoir
PBS has a Doc documentary now.
