The Peter Broomal String Band does a Salute to the Sixties Music. Blue collar guys who spend each weekend sewing beads and feathers on to their Gawdy costumes. This as well as practicing their dance moves, all to do a 5 minute show in front of the judges on New Years Day! Imagine the Sopranos meet Stonewall!
wow! Thanks! This is what we wanted...believe me, many bands are all about the cash and seeing how big they can get their props. Our band wants to bring back plumes and oldtime tunes, like golden slipper and alabama jubilee!!

The thing about Growing up in Philadelphia, was that every one knew some one who did the All Year thing to make that One day Special! This is really a Philadelphia thing, it Happens NO WHERE ELSE! I will all ways remember the Parade, Feeling warm and just enjoying the fun of a Really Big, All Day Parade! Thanks to all the Mummers who make me remember my Happy childhood and the all the Really Great Things about Philadelphia!
