Plot
Up to Snuff is a story of redemption. Snuffy's journey began like many musicians in the ‘60s and ‘70s, immersed in the "sex, drugs and rock and roll" lifestyle of touring musicians. Snuffy found sobriety and quietly transitioned into a composer, scoring music for more than 80 television programs. Up To Snuff is the story of that metamorphosis, as told by Snuffy's friends, colleagues and collaborators including Aaron Sorkin, Martin Sheen, Tom Arnold, Timothy Busfield, Lawrence O'Donnell, Joshua Malina, Fred Savage, Ed Asner and musicians Eric Burdon, Steve Lukather, Tris Imboden, and Mike Post.
