Already miss Carson not him - so sad
Budweiser and the Johnny Carson show is about all I know of him. I know he was broke and struggling with some health issues. I do recall them saying he was in the Marines. Doc Holiday was also his band leader on the show wasn't he?
It's always a reminder that time moves on - constantly.

A Good Man having Served Country Destinguishingly in 2 Wars (re. WWII & Korea) & longtime
liked & admired By Many,...it gets no better than that. Plus, Ed gets to again say: "HE-E-E-E-ER-R'S-S Johnny" in a much better place. Wonder if both will actually R.I.P.,...orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr just start clowning-around as did so often & well for so long a time, here on earth? I tend to believe the: "Clowning-around" scenario,...and without a care in The World to-boot. Maybe while even having a drink or two? Not sure just what permitted Up There? Neil
