Date: Circa 1905s.

The Hearlinveaux band played at Teen Town events in Ladysmith. Their musical instruments and dress suggest the band’s music represented a sort of transition from the Big Band music of the 1940s to the rock and roll of the late 1950s/early 1960s. Joe Conti (piano/accordion), Wesley Morris (saxophone), Henry Hearlinveaux (xylophone). Violin and trombone players are unknown.
