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. |

Max Not where American Indians play banjos..now I have seen poodles play guitars... 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. Max |
