Title	WPA folk music project: six men with instruments outdoors.
Creator	Thomas, Jean, 1881-1982 (collector)
Description	Six men sit in the yard playing musical instruments. Their coats and hats can be seen hanging on the picket fence in the background, and a few musical instruments are on the ground. A spinning wheel and broom are visible behind them, and another musician can be seen at the far left, playing fiddle. They are apparently involved in the Works Progress Administration's Federal Music Project, a New Deal relief program that employed citizens to create and document art and artists. These musicians (left to right) play: fiddle (older man and younger man seated next to one another); banjo (man with curly hair standing in back row); mountain dulcimer (played with quill by seated man); and guitar (two young men at right, one seated, one standing). One of the men may be named Archie Williams. Title supplied by cataloger.
