I really miss Doc and Tom Snyder. Tom Snyder was one of the best late night talk show hosts. RIP

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!"

Two of my heros.

Doc is such a cool guy, I wish he’d write a memoir

PBS has a Doc documentary now.
