Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBirthday to Paul Shaffer, born OTD in 1949 in Toronto, and raised in Fort William (now part of Thunder Bay), Ontario. Shaffer is a Canadian musician, actor, and comedian who served as David Letterman's musical director, bandleader, and sidekick on Late Night with David Letterman (1982–1993) and Late Show with David Letterman (1993–2015). His father was a jazz aficionado while his mother loved show tunes. When Shaffer was 12, his parents took him on a trip to Las Vegas where they took in Nat King Cole and other shows; this was an experience Shaffer described later as "life changing" and led to his decision to become a performer. He was the musical director for the Toronto production of Godspell, a band member on SNL from 1975 to 1980, and the musical director for The Blues Brothers. Shaffer was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2007.
