Your memory is correct - youtube has the whole Carson thing, 4 or 6 parts covering the wedding, plus Orson Welles episode. Also listened to a 4 part Howard Stern interview with him in the late 80s early 90s. Amazing encyclopedic knowledge of the classic classic tunes. Posted "Living in the Sunlight" and "The Other Side" on FB yesterday. <br /><br />I'll try to work up a post on just him sometime in the future.
