First Johnny then Tommy. Who's next? Ed or Doc? Newsom first substituted when Doc Severenson was touring. Then he became the Tonight Show Band's primary director.

as a key member of Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show" band for three decades, and 
whom Carson nicknamed "Mr. Excitement" for his stone-faced demeanor and somber 
outfits, died April 28 at his home in Portsmouth, Va. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/30/AR2007043000547.html">
<P>As a personality, Mr. Newsom pretended to have none. Carson gently taunted 
him for his deadpan expression and bland tastes -- his suits ran the gamut from 
brown to navy.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/30/AR2007043000547.html">

to the police," Carson once said.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8F659591-F4A3-46A8-BC47-B2AFD1348D51/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
