Uh . . . not to nit-pick, but I think you'll find that it was Millard Thomas, not Millard Lampbell who was Harry Belafonte's main guitar accompanist early on. Ray Boguslav also accompanied Belafonte for awhile.

Dick Rosmini and I crossed paths a couple of times, once when he was accompanying Bob Gibson and a few years later when he was accompanying Barbara Dane. He's one helluva guitarist. He and Gibson were in Seattle for a couple of weeks, and we had several chances to get together and jam. After the Barbara Dane concert, she, Rosmini, and a whole bunch of Seattle singers got together. She opened for Bob Newhart, and only sang about five songs, so she was rearing to go. Somebody offered their living room and we had a big songfest that went well into the wee small hours of the morning. The whole mob, Barbara, Dick, and all, went out for breakfast afterward. I learned a couple of songs from Barbara.   

Good times!
