Claude "Fiddler" Williams performs on stage with fiddler Jonathan Blake and others

Description

An unidentified white male pianist, farthest left in the photograph, sits diagonally on the piano bench, turns his body toward the keys, and closes his eyes as he plays. Standing beside the bench, Claude "Fiddler" Williams faces center stage as he plays his fiddle. Standing at the end of the piano, an unidentified white male double bass player looks out toward fiddler Jonathan Blake standing center stage who turns his body to face Claude. Farthest right in the photograph is an unidentified white male drummer, sitting and playing as he smiles toward the piano player. Shadows of the double bass player and the fiddler at center stage are on the wall behind the combo. The backs of audience heads are in the foreground of the photograph.
