The music truck that follows behind Pete Fountain's Half Fast Walking Club. I suppose the idea was that when the band in front of the parade quits playing, then the band on the truck in back will play thereby guaranteeing continuous music. Naturally, it never works out that way but who cares as long as we can hear some great music1
The tune is "While We Danced At the Mardi Gras".
Ah yes. Love it from Detroit, but a new orleanian through and through.
