Take a look at the third image in the column and you'll see a sign for The Alpine Village. I didn't expect much, but just for laughs I did a search for Alpine Village and found a German market, next to a swap meet, in Torrance, California. Anyway, the sign I saw in the current photos I found are similar to the one in these old photos. So much for my theory that these guys are one of the trad jazz bands that claimed to play old time New Orleans style music. For most of them, not a very accurate claim, but nevertheless. Perhaps they are German oompah band without the Tuba. But a banjo?
