Featuring personal anecdotes and insights from luminaries of television, Up to Snuff recounts the journey of the cherished American composer, W.G. Snuffy Walden, and his unique history prior to achieving public acclaim. Overcoming the excesses of rock and roll, the kindhearted composer fought his battle with addiction to achieve recognition as an iconic musician through his efforts to revolutionize the composition of television sound. Praised as one of the most versatile composers of his generation, Snuffy created the beloved theme songs for countless popular shows including The West Wing, Thirtysomething, The Wonder Years, and Friday Night Lights.
