An all-star jazz group led by Dixieland jazz clarinetist David Poe showed up to salute Arthur "Doc" Rando, who joined in on his sax and performed a solo "Sentimental Journey." When he was 8, Doc's aunt would take him for rides on the riverboats popular in his native New Orleans, and Arthur "Doc" Rando-Grillot would listen with awe to musicians like Louis Armstrong that entertained the passengers. But when the music world slipped into rock 'n' roll in the 1950s, Rando rolled up the sheet music, put away the clarinet and the sax and changed professions. "Doc" Rando literally became a physician. For more than 20 years he ran the emergency room at Southern Nevada Memorial Hospital, which eventually became University Medical Center. Sentimental journey, indeed.
