AND IT WAS COLD THAT DAY. I had my 5mo old Stephen in his snow suit and blankets to keep him warm. We were there from 8am until late afternoon. Thank God my Aunt had a house on Broad Street for eating and bathroom breaks.
I was 5 years old, and living in the Gray's Ferry section of Philadelphia, when this happened. In 1986, I ended up moving next door to the Shannon's in Darby. Their son Bob Jr. went on to be Quaker City's captain. I used to see him, when he came to visit his mom & dad. The whole family was really nice.
I agree completely. The bands have almost no banjo players anymore and all they obsess over is props and sets. What is shown in this video is 1000 times better.
Just out of curiosity who is the announcer seen on the early part of this video? I know the unseen lady was Connie Ruisin although I heard her call him Roy. What was his last name. I don't think I remember him at all.
