Description
Photograph of men playing the piano and trumpet at a funeral in the desert, [s.d.]. Two men are visible from behind at right. The one standing to the left is playing the trumpet, while the second man is seated at what appears to be a piano. A few dozen men and women can be seen surrounding the musicians. The women wear coats and hats, while most of the men can be seen wearing pants and jackets. One man at center wears overalls. The top of a wooden cross is visible behind the crowd at left, while sand dunes can be seen in the background.
