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


I've never seen and American Indian play the banjo...
