Thank you,

and then cyan looking (if you're alive, you don't want to look cyan!).

There are some interesting shots from Jimi Plays Berkley where Hendrix is looking kinda blue.

Thanks, Mark.

FYI - perhaphs you know this already, but Harold was born/raised in Richmond, Indiana, along with his dear friend, bassist Andy Simpkins, who passed away in June of 1999.

Sure is, Mark! Still manages to keep a local big band together where he lives in Marin County, CA and he played with Basie's band from Christmas of 1967 until 1972. Harold was also Sarah Vaughan's last drummer and went with Natalie Cole for a number of years after Sarah's passing. He's also worked with Eddie Harris, Benny Carter, Walter Norris, Jimmy Smith, Johnny Griffin, and so many others. There are some great clips of Harold playing which can be heard/seen at his website:
