Details
Double bassist Aaron Bell sits on a stool on the left side of the photograph and looks up at Claude "Fiddler" Williams across the stage, as he plucks the strings of the bass. Guitarist Ted Dunbar sits on a chair in the center of the stage, looking down at his hands playing his guitar with a slight smile on his face. Claude "Fiddler" Williams stands on the right side of the photograph behind a microphone, bends, and closes his eyes as he draws the bow across the strings of his fiddle. All three are very focused on their performance.
