No Scot,

I married a South Philly Girl and a Pot of Veggie Soup

was the order of

the Day.
Ah Yes; Traditions of "Mummers" strutting up Broad

Street to City Hall

Are the Mummers still around, Thom? I never see the

parades, but I used to

love the Mummers.


Yes, they're still strutting their stuff. The parade was
postponed due to rain on NYD.


I guess I always liked them because I never understood what they were
all
about. Anyone know for sure?

Max
Mummers in England were usually apprentices to undertakers and walked
before the hearse as a symbol of mourning. Oliver Twist was a mummer in
Dicken's rale...

Did those early Brits dress like American Indians and play banjos, too?

Max

No. we painted ourselves blue with woad to scare our enemies.

The last banjo player we had in our bluegrass/folk band (mid-80s) was a
fellow named Jimmy Grant. Full-blooded member of one of the more obscure
Sioux tribes.
