Mummers on the Move
If you were in the Philly Convention Center Exhibit Hall today around 10:30 am, you may have seen-- or heard-- some Mummery afoot. (And if you've never heard the word "Mummer" in your life, stop now and read this.)
A small but potent parade of Mummers made a circuit 'round the hall, dressed in full regalia and blaring classics like "Baby Face" on their saxes and banjos. With luck, we may catch them again on Friday-- and they may play the penultimate Mummer tune "O Dem Golden Slippers." If so, I'll bet at least one person won't be able to resist doing a bit of the Mummers strut around the booths. You'll know it when you see it.
