He Bill,
You could be right Bill, maybe nobody watched. Anyway here is the 
correct link to the Rod Mason Video

Yes Max was in fine form.

No that was an error, although I think he was less inflential in 
traditional jazz circles than many of the others I mentioned.

I discovered Black Happy in 1969 when I bought a compilation LP called 
New Orleans Jazzmen, which had the Ory Exners and two Lewis tracks.
I was immediately impressed with Happy's fluid snare work, which swings 
like the clappers and is also technically correct. Essential listening, 
I'd say.
