After GR left DA"s band, he joined Fletcher [Hendersonl's. He was always "a fickle fallow," always wanting to be on the go. [Cf. Walter C.

DA explains tliat that was just the band's way of putting it/ a ^S.tfe joke they shared. His attitude would cliange like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. He would go from being friendly to arguing with anyone in the band. For this reason, the members sometimes avoided him. RBA asks if he became argumentative wlien the moon was full.
