one of the problems is that our commish seems to have disappeared as well. Who's pick is it? Is it mine again? Is the draft board ever going to be updated again? Many people have offered to help do that.
Sorry about that guys, I've been out with the Black Death for a few days and the thread title hadn't been updating recently. I falsely assumed that we were still on those same people. I will try to make something happen sometime today.
Carl Hilding "Doc" Severinsen (born July 7, 1927) is an Americanpop and jazztrumpeter. He is best known for leading the NBC Orchestra on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
...
In the 1950s, during Steve Allen's tenure as host of NBC-TV's Tonight, Doc Severinsen played first trumpet in the band, which was directed by Skitch Henderson. Severinsen took over as bandleader in 1967, and soon became noted for his flashy, trendy stage wardrobe.
Under Severinsen, the Tonight Show's NBC Orchestra was the most visible big band in America. Severinsen took the opportunity to update many well-known swing and jazz standards for the show's audiences, often introducing new listeners to classics by Cole Porter, Dizzy Gillespie, and others.
Severinsen would sometimes substitute for Ed McMahon as announcer and sidekick. Although adept at comic interplay, Severinsen took his role as band leader on The Tonight Show seriously. The band played both incidental music for comedy sketches and guest introductions, and intermission music during station breaks. Severinsen campaigned for the band to get featured slots during the show, but for the most part the band was seen on camera during the frequent "Stump the Band" segments, Audience members would challenge the band with obscure song titles, and Severinsen and his crew would attempt to play something appropriate to the titles. Severinsen often cried, "Key of E!", his signal for the band to strike up a western theme, and then he would enthusiastically sing a country-flavored nonsense song.
Severinsen continued as bandleader until Carson's retirement in 1992.
I'm looking at the categories and I'm lost as to what I have left to fill.
I'm pretty sure I filled female singer with Carol Welsman so I'll go with wildcard band. Gime The Arcade Fire. (didnt see them on the draft board so I'll assume...)

To make it a little easier for Girly to update my section of the draft board, here are the updates for my team:
-White Zombie to be added to East of Mississippi
-Dire Straits to be added to Wild Card band
-Kenny G to be added to Instrumental soloist
I also selected The Darkness, and shouldn't have been able to. I don't have room for them. If anyone was going to select them (liamenator), I apologize. They are now available for everyone again.
And with my next selection, I am going to take in the Keyboard/Piano category, Frederic Chopin.
I believe I still have two picks left, and I'm not sure what you all have left, but I'll leave the rest for now.

Yeah, I just realized that I also already had a Bass Guitarist, so I'm changing my last pick from Russell Decarle in Bass Guitarist to William Joseph in Instrumental Soloist, and changing Jim Brickman from Instrumental Soloist to Keyboard/Piano Player.
