Sami and Kevin made the best of the day.
Big Daddy was on the job.

Hats were judged on a platform in front of the Lee Monument.
Amplified gospel music filled the spring air in the Fan District.
Since there were almost as many dogs on hand as people, dogs in costumes were judged, too.
For lots of old friends who ran into one another on Monument Avenue the citizens parade became a reunion.

My kid and me just watched three pre-teens wrap up they're singing set with a rouseing "Proud to be an American" on the steps of the Jefferson Davis Monument. Yeesh.
claybee,
Yeah, I caught a few minutes of that act, too. Their style reminded me of an old Lawrence Welk TV show. Didn't stick around for the finish.
Something for everybody?
What you guys aren't proud to be Americans? ;-)
Thanks for the pics F.T. One of these days I'm going to make it down there.
Terry, your photos are uniformly excellent. That doggoned old camera of yours is something else. I'm trying to remember, did I see a strip of duct tape on it? Like it's a piece of band equipment....
Thanks for including a Taters shot in the mix - we had a large time. Didn't do any Lawrence Welk stuff, but I did notice some bubbles floating around during our set. I believe they came from yon balcony......
ward smythe,
Thanks.
Brad,
Thanks. When I do such slideshows, I think of them as little freeze-dried movies.
And, feel free to use that shot of the Taters.
