It's Doily the Skitty's dad, Pop Pop!
His lore is based on my own dad. My dad met Ray Charles by pretending to be an employee of the local radio station and sneaking in. He was so impressed by my dad’s cheekiness that he actually signed a picture for him, and my dad is a jazz musician.

I referenced official art. I am not familiar enough to go without references at the moment! Maybe someday.
