    ...The Noble Savage?

    It was originally applied to the American Indian in Dryden's 17th century poem; and the painting was the source for Johnny Depp's makeup in THE LONE RANGER

    Heard 'n read a lot about Petrolle that justifies that description (sadly never privleged to see him live)

    New saw Herrera live, either; but based on your mention, gonna scramble ta Google him.

    As I post this, these guys come to mind:

    Matthew Franklin
    Carmine Basilio
    Bobby Chacon
