Rock and roll pianist mentioned in a comedy skit on the television series The Ray Stevens Show (1970).
In a nice bit of video green-screen trickery, Ray narrates a fairy tale about a princess, while a different version of himself accompanies him on piano, and a third version acts out the story. The princess has everything but happiness, and the only one who can make her smile and laugh turns out to be this guy Harold.
They get married and while playing a tour date in Nashville, Harold is attacked by hillbillies, forced to hide in the rafters of the Ryman Auditorium, and became the Phantom of the Opry, occasionally appearing on the The Johnny Cash Show as Tammy Wynette's bass player.
