Doc Severinsen, the popular Director
of Music for NBC’s Tonight Show with
Johnny Carson, will be in concert at
Mars Hill College Saturday, October 29.
The concert will be held in the college’s
Moore Auditorium and will begin at
7:30 p.m.
Although part of Mars Hill’s Home
coming activities, the concert is open to
the public. It is sponsored by the
school’s Visiting Artists and Lecturers
Committee.
Severinsen was born in Arlington,
Oregon, the son of the only dentist in
town. He was christened Carl Hilding
Severinsen, but quickly picked up the
nickname “Little Doc.” As he grew, the
“Little” was dropped, but the Doc
stuck. His father, a passionate violinist,
wanted his son to play the violin, but
Doc refused. He wanted to play the
trombone, but when he tried, he found
his arms were too short and settled in
stead for the cornet.
He became so proficient on the instru
ment that he was invited to join the high
school band at the age of seven. Two
years later, he became Oregon’s cham
pion junior trumpeter. At 13, he became
angry when the band teacher would not
let him play first chair in the high school
band because of his age, so he quit and
vowed to play elsewhere. He did, in the
all-star band of four western states,
Alaska, and British Columbia. He tried
out for Tommy Dorsey’s band at 14, but
didn’t make it.
When he was a senior in high school.
Doc quit and went on the road with Ted
Fio Rito’s big band, finishing his studies
through a correspondence course.
After a stint in the U.S. Army, h^
finally got to play with Dorsey’s band,
as well as Charlie Barnet’s and Benny
Goodman’s. He joined NBC as a staff
musician in 1949, playing for the likes of
Eddie Fisher, Kate Smith, and Dinah
Shore until he became Skitch Hender
son’s assistant in 1962 on the Tonight
Show. He was named musical director
of the show in 1967. In addition to his
duties on the show, he performs for sev
eral weeks each year in Las Vegas and
