| | Johnny Carson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | John William "Johnny" Carson (October 23, 1925 – January 23, 2005) was an American actor, comedian and writer best known for his iconic status as the host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. | | | Also a talented amateur drummer, Carson was shown on a segment of 60 Minutes practicing at home on a drum set given to him by jazz legend Buddy Rich. | | | If the opening monologue fared poorly, the band would start playing the song "Tea for Two" and Carson would start to dance, which invariably earned laughs from the studio audience. |

| | During the recording of Irma's 1997 album The Story Of My Life, Billington had invited Penn and songwriting partners Carson Whitsett and Johnny Barnett to the sessions and as a result, Irma recorded three songs written specifically for her by the trio. | | | It was not her first time cutting any of Penn's material: she had recorded a few of Penn's compositions during a brief late '60s stint with Chess Records, as well as the songs "Zero Will Power" and "Women Left Lonely" for a small independent label in the early '70s. | | | After he saw her perform at the Porretta Soul Festival in Italy with a band of Memphis players, Billington knew that Irma's rich, burnished alto would be perfectly at home in the city of soul. |

| | The Muse of Joy and Sorrow: why we play the fiddle - ed. Donna Hébert |
| | Fiddlin' John Carson, born in 1876, suddenly in 1922 had the only regularly-scheduled 10pm radio program in the country (truly "the Johnny Carson of his era"). | | | So the John Carson-Bob Taylor story is possibly part of the inspiration. | | | Gene Wiggins, in "Fiddlin' Georgia Crazy: Fiddlin' John Carson, His Real World, and the World of His Songs" (University of Illinois Press, 1989), quotes two accounts of a contest between Bob Taylor and a young John Carson, while Taylor was Governor of Tennessee (1887-91, or later again in 1897-99). |
