[edit] Previous members

There is no mention of previous band members. There was a prior bass guitar player who played for the band when it was The World's Most Dangerous Band on NBC, but he was fired and replaced (apparently because of some dispute with Shaffer). Anyone remember who this was? — Loadmaster 14:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Prior bass player, no...Will Lee has been with the show since it began taping. However, I'm pretty sure there was a different guitarist (or two) during that time period. DiscordantNoteCntrbtns 04:48, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Hiram Bullock was the original guitarist. Also, Steve Jordan was the original drummer. There were a few keyboardists they used before adding the horn section...I'm pretty sure Bernie Worrell was one of them. DiscordantNoteCntrbtns 04:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What about a list of often used musical pieces before/after breaks?

The band usually play right before and after commercial breaks, what about a list of often repeated songs used for this purpose in the shows?

The "I Love Lucy" theme song (and a few others that I can't remember right now) are often played when Dave is walking to his desk after the monologue. "Rockin Robin" is usually played when Robin Williams comes onstage... AnonMoos 01:49, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Another song frequently played as Dave is walking to his desk is "42nd Street". AnonMoos 21:23, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
There'd be way too huge a list to add to the article, but I believe Google will lead you to a few lists of common/notable songs (one by Anton Fig and another by AFL, if I'm not mistaken) if you wanted to see one. DiscordantNoteCntrbtns 01:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
