Donny, I think the Conan band deserves more recognition. You're right-they're a great bunch of players. They're certainly good unough to deserve the job, but I'd hate to see Kevin Eubanks lose the Leno job when Conan takes over. On the other hand, I believe the Conan band deserves to be rewarded for their part in Conan's success.

And I'm sure Kevin will be fine. Hopefully, Jay will take him with him when he decides what to do next.If not, the guy was putting out Grammy nominated instrumental albums before the Leno job, so he'll be fine.

It's always nice to see great players get some recognition.


Be well, and have a great holiday.
