    There is another song, under the scrapbook signet

    After the scrapbook segment Johnny Carson compliments Doc and the band for the beautiful music accompaniment. It needs to be added to the list of soundtracks.

    With somebody who knows what the song is please add it?

    Thank you! This is a wonderful piece of work and I really appreciate it.

    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Johnny Carson - Host: And so it has come to this: I, uh... am one of the lucky people in the world; I found something I always wanted to do and I have enjoyed every single minute of it. I want to thank the people who've shared this stage with me for thirty years. Mr. Ed McMahon, Mr. Doc Severinsen, and you people watching. I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you. And I hope when I find something that I want to do and I think you would like and come back, that you'll be as gracious in inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night.
