Memories of the best South Philly-based stringbands coming down "2 Street", right by my junior high school - Furness. They were great years for this 78 year old.
the best, this is the way it should be! how i miss it. hate the new crap with the damn theatrics, awful. go guys, strut your stuff!!! great music, great marching.
GREAT music! VERY GOOD Marching! BUT ridiculous costumes!! My wife majored in Textiles & Clothing at a major university. She has some marvelous ideas for "updating" those incredibly gaudy outfits! (e.g. two basic, complementary colors with a third "flair" color as trim, etc. Problem: Wherever could the old costumes ever be sold? Some thrift shops in Third World economies? Ha!
