I just spent a couple hours with Harold Betters earlier today downtown. I used to be his regular sub at the Encore. You are a very important member of the jazz community having helped to launch one of our great icons and one of my mentors in his early career. Harold has a page here so please add him and me as a friend. I bet you have some fabulous photos you can post. Please do. Thank you for joining.
