Замечательно!!

First time watching. Great. Regards from Bob in Ontario, Canada

These are the times my mother Loved!!! B4 all the Broadway-ish showmanship and props and dancing and. . .

Love them. My favorite parade anywhere.... Mummers Parade

😢

Amazing. Year I was born

Mummers are a great tradition.

Memories of me and my son marching on board at

Дай бог счастья их потомкам!

Russ colman please I need copy 1995 uptown my dad's in it he exactly passed in 2006 please

I was sixteen and always watched the parade on tv even though it was in B&W. Thanks for taking me back to another time.

До сих пор музыка живая яркая

Очень трогательно.

Те, которые детишки, они моего возраста.

This is the Philadelphia i remember...miss it terribly.

I definitely prefer this type of mummers parade to the Broadway shows they now put on. Sorry, no disrespect meant.

The video and audio back then were not all that good. It was better live on TV.

No disrespect to today's performers, but I love these "old" parades in Philly the best.

Ferko won first prize with their Salute to My Fair Lady-one of the coldest parades on record. My Dad parade with Ferko and said saxes were freezing up, lips were cut open and hands frozen from the cold!!!

Очень трогательно

Do I surmise correctly that the band stopped at a special senior’s home to serenade and wish well? What was he - retired band member? Beloved veteran? Whoever he was it sure brought him happiness!

Resembles Fan y Brigade rather as strong band

They march and perform so different now

We lived at road and porter growinh up moved to 15th street. Dad marched ever year in durning string band how well I remember

Cultural appropriation at its American Worst ! Do Americans really think that this bunch of prancing pansies represent Scotland ? Insulting wankers

Actually much prefer the way the bands looked and performed back then over the elaborate and overly produced version of the modern parade.

Philly looks great here

All of Ferko,s first place finished

❤️🫶🏻🎉

Help me out here - Can anyone identify the string band tune starting at 12:52? Hearing it, I recognized (what I assumed was) 'You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile' from the 1982 'Annie' musical which came out 2 years after this parade recording and I can find no other writing credit going back any earlier than '82...I just know the Annie tune HAS to be based on something from circa the 20's or 30's, and this mummer rendition must be the 'real deal'...same melody, slightly different cadence. Such a sweet, wonderful tune.

Can someone please explain the costumes?

One of the greats 3:35

Great year

South Philly in the mid 90s and prior was such a better place. Before the city became infested with filthy out of town leftists .

Thank you for being a wonderful and dedicated historian.

These aee fantastic. Bring back so many memories from a great time. 27 Stringbands 20 Brigades back then. We are down to 24 total today.

Yes sir!

I predict first prize 2024
