A fiddler named Wayne Perry is the focus of this photograph, taken in Crowley, Louisiana, a town in the southwestern part of the state that grew up around the rice trade and came to be known as the "Rice Capital of the World." The record dates the picture only to somewhere between 1934 and 1950, a period when fiddle music was central to dance halls and house parties across Acadiana, where Cajun and Creole string traditions were strong. Images of working musicians like Perry, shown with their instruments rather than posed as stage performers, help document how that music was played in everyday community life.
