At first glance this dude with the snare drum looks like he could be an early rocker. That's almost George Harrison's haircut from Mersey Beat days. Well, think again, the chap is a Greenville musician and his identity is likely long lost to us. This pic is cropped from a large photo of the "Berean Class Band of Brandon Mill Baptist Church," dated 1935. It's an amazing old photo and it's just further evidence that there's a lot of music out there and it goes way, way back. 
No admission but tips are good. For songwriters performing with acoustic instruments. Original work only! Don't think twice, it's alright. 
Tune in to WPCI and let it play, you'll be amazed at the variety. Call and give them a word of support -- leave a message, Phone: 864-370-1490, they love to hear from people about it. Tell 'em you found them on greenvillesouth.com.
