The Shriners are a fraternal organization known for starting and supporting hospitals for children with orthopedic problems. What he is describing is a convention for a fictional small-town chapter (with a problematic member). Shriners wear fez hats and their chapters are called "temples". They are known for their parades with clowns and mini motorcycles. Conventions for most organizations usually are held at a hotel and involve meetings and banquets.

Awesome, thanks ❤️ always great to get the background info on such things. ☺️ I’ve been to conventions, just for my educated profession which actually is computer networks and computer security. Very different conventions 😂

[@katrinaprescott5911]

@@ThalesMusicCorner that's funny. I'm an information security analyst, myself. DFIR (digital forensics and incident response).

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

That’s cool. I only partially got into the information forensics, but I was the network teams cert member, and was also the advisor from the network team to help start said cert. Haven’t done computer security, especially defensive hacking or offensive security, in many years now though. The last few years I worked with network architecture and my main focus was managing a network of a bit over four hundred locations spanning the Nordic countries.

@@ThalesMusicCorner please that may have come out wrong and i dont want to snap if i misunderstood your point. But the line "for my educated proffession" makes it sound like you are putting down the "uneducated' Trades. Please disregard if i missunderstood that point.

This song brought some popularity and fame to The Shriners. I first heard this song as a boy in the 1980's and ever since whenever I see the Shriners asking for donations I give. They do such good work.

This is one that is very American in its concept. It may be hard to "translate" for anyone that don't know most of the inside jokes. For that matter, a lot of the newer folks probably won't get it either.

[@maddhatter3564]

New Ray Stevens? i remember that coming out in 1973

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

New as in “another, and new to me” 😉☺️

[@maddhatter3564]

check out "Mississippi squirrel revival" that may be more universal.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Yeah, it’s on the list and I’ve seen Home Free’s version. So much fun. ❤️

[@george217]

You might like one of his newer ones called "Taylor Swift is stalking me ".

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Haha, cool, I’ll check it out ❤️

[@maddhatter3564]

Its called southern comedy girl. Hope you like it.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

It was fun indeed, but since I don’t know the American culture in that way I’m assuming a lot was lost on me.😂

Chicky, your shirt is far too transparent. 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

"Far too transparent" is not what I'd called this. The black shirt I have in a few videos is transparent ;) What I wear, and most things that appear in the video aren't accidental though
