Joe Wilder and Claude "Fiddler" Williams prepare to perform for the Count Basie Society

Description

Joe Wilder looks down or closes his eyes as he sits on a coffee table holding his trumpet between his knees with both hands. He faces Claude "Fiddler" Williams who sits on a couch playing his fiddle. There is a pillow propped on the wall and the back of the couch behind Claude's head. They sit in a living room situation preparing for the ceremony to be given the status of Honorary Members of the Count Basie Society in England. The date, "2 10 '03," is imprinted by the camera on the bottom right-hand corner of the photograph.
