Claude "Fiddler" Williams takes a moment to turn sideways to the stage and smile at the camera as the band plays on
Description
Claude "Fiddler" Williams, from behind a seated audience member, stands sideways to the stage to smile at the camera; his fiddle tucked under his right arm. An unidentified white male pianist sits and plays a grand piano with the top open on the right side of the photograph. His back is to the camera. He wears a jacket with "The New Reformation Dixieland Band, Saginaw, Michigan," printed on the back. Standing behind Claude and on the left side of the photograph is a white male trombone player, a whte male trumpet player, and a white male saxophone player playing their instruments. Possibly they are warming up before a performance in a large room with tall windows and a vaulted ceiling.
No date; likely early 1990s
