The South Family Band at the Howling Dog, Ester, AK 1974

This is the only photo I have of Doc. This is the South Family Band in the winter of 1974 at the old Howling Dog Saloon when it used to be in Ester, AK. Pictured here are Robin Dale Ford (Banjo), Brent Edwards (Banjo), Bill or Danny South? (Guitar), and you can just see a little bit of Louise South's hand on her guitar....and Doc with the fiddle.  This may be the first and only documentation of a band with two banjos. What a wonderful way to spend a bitter-cold winter evening!
