Hey Philly Captain there you were Mummers Museum South Phila...Great touring video and narration...Also great original history collection of our famous legendary traditional Philly Mummers...
I know your parading days are over, but I also know a lot of old mum guys who said the same thing and ended up joining up with a club again. Could be you in a few years, Captain!
They have what's called the winners circle showing that years winners. Should be changing over to reflect this year in a few months. And you are correct Sadly Trilby and Broomall have dropped out over the last few years. Very tough hobby, time and expense.
Interesting point about how the Mummers now frown upon black face and ban it completely. Yet they still allow brown and red face which depict Latinos & Native Americans as stereotypes. I realize that this is done in a spirit of fun and fraternity with absolutely no hostile intent whatsoever. But it is inconsistent. Perhaps that will change some day. Nice tour. Thanks again for sharing your vids. But please do consider making a live Mummers Day Parade video presentation.
I'm glad you had fun. The Mummers museum is a lot of fun.

He’s always welcome at the Ferko String Band
Oh how I love the mummers and I think it's better than mardi gras.
