another great photo of an old errant musician. 😯 "Will you please put this in your paper. My papa ran away two years ago and left me and my mamma and I have been waiting patiently every day for my papa to come home to us. My mama is sick all the time and we have a hard time to get along’. My papa is a musician and can play most any kind of a horn."

From International Musician, March 1914.
