My Grandmother attended that school in the 1920's. She and her brothers had to row a boat to get there.

My dadders used to tell me all about mummers.

You need to watch how Philadelphia does the Mummers on New Years Day. Especially the string bands!

I looked that up! I think I need to get there to see that. I live in Dublin, love the Mummers, but the idea that all of the diverse communities in Philadelphia have added their own touch to it sounds fantastic. Different costumes and music added to the original ritual! And it looks huge! It seems more Americans know of the mummers than Irish people.
