Musicians in The Grapes of Wrath.

Three Musicians performing at a Government Camp; from The Grapes of Wrath, v.2, p.401, illustrated edition. Fiddler player is standing with the harmonica and banjo players sitting. "A harmonica is easy to carry. Take it out of your hip pocket, knock it against your palm to shake out the dirt and pocket fuzz and bits of tobacco. Now it's ready." "A guitar is more precious. Must learn the thing." "The fiddle is rare, hard to learn. No frets, no teacher." Shrill as a wind, the fiddle, quick and nervous and shrill." "These three in the evening, harmonica and fiddle and guitar."
