I *LOVE* the string bands!

I was denied of such a thing early on, being a West Coaster... However, I ran across an old Ferko recording on a music blog several years ago, and can't get enough!

I watched the whole stringband portion of the Mummer's parade online and loved almost all the bands, but immediately after Quaker City's theme was finished I turned to my girlfriend and said, "Quaker City just won this thing!"

The Mummers' Parade beats the living %&$%#@%$ out of that stuffy, boring Rose Parade any day!
