Sam Lay, an African American male blues drummer, sits and rests his right cheek on his right hand and slightly smiles toward the camera. He wears a business suit with a chest-length necktie with a cowboy boot tie tack, and a very wide belt buckle of large framed jewels. Printed in the margin below the photograph, "Legendary" Sam Lay "The Shuffle Master".
