Hi Bob,

Brock Mumford was the GUITAR player in the Bolden band. See the only known 
band picture in "Pictorial History of Jazz" where it's been printed the 
wrong way round to show Brock as a right handed player. The original 
compostion of the picture by the photographer (unknown) showed the guitar 
being held as though being played left-handed. If you look at the cornet and 
clrinets you will see that their keys are the wrong way round in the picture 
as published.

Best

Louis
