Description
Claude "Fiddler" Williams has a big grin on his face as he takes a little side step on stage, pumps the fist of his right hand, and holds his bow and fiddle down by his leg with his left hand. Larry Holloway, double bass, is blurred playing behind Claude. Claude completely obscures the man standing behind him who is likely Richard Ross, jazz singer, clapping his hands. Another unidentified man's head is mostly out of the photograph on the left side, possibly a audience member at the Levee Bar & Grill on 43rd Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
