WHO WILL KEEP THE TEMPO? Why, the dogs tail of course!


I wish I had some words of wisdom to impart about this shot, but I don’t. I purchased it today and as soon as I saw it I knew it would be my Sepia Saturday post. It has nothing to do with the actual suggested theme.

My theme this week is to honor all the amazing posts done by musician Mike Brubaker at TempoSenzaTempo. If you haven’t stopped by to read some of his detailed pieces about musicians from the past you’re missing out.

The photo was taken at Peoples Studio at 133 S. Gay St, Knoxville, Tennessee.

UPDATE: I was hopeful Mike Brubaker might see this post and make a comment providing some information about this image and he did. Thank you Mike!
Gosh, I'm very flattered! Such a neat photo! Band uniform capes start around 1930s when school bands started to march and play for football games - in the rain. And Ok it's an alto saxophone and a Staffordshire Bull Terrier (maybe). A dog's howl and a saxophone's yelp are pretty much the same annoyance.

  1. The minute I saw the picture I thought of Mr. Mike. He could give us the dog's pedigree, I'm sure.

  2. I second that! Mike will no doubt have some information about this one too, but isn’t it charming? As you may remember from my own doggy post, I have a weakness for sepia hounds and this one would be a favourite.

  3. At least the dog is not howling at the music.

  4. This pic made me smile - I always love photos of children & dogs together. The dog doesn't seem to mind the sound of the saxophone. Do you think the dog is some sort of terrier? Actually reminds me of a pit bull from the side, but I may be wrong.

    1. I thought pit bull kind also. A happy dog who appears to be dancing.

  5. There is a definite bond between the two of them. A lovely old photo :)

  7. I definitely think the boy is playing so the dog will howl. He's training him so they can become an act at the county fair.

  8. That's a great picture. It does look like the dog is singing along.
