more parade


This being Nova Scotia Santa Claus could not possibly arrive in town without the pipers. However, the parade marshall put the red coated band right in behind the western horses. When the pipes started the horses were terrified. The music stropped, the band retreated three floats back, and then the parade moved on with the new arrangement. Western horses do not appreciate the Scottish element. The Clydesdales were unperturbed. They know their own heritage. I wonder if the western horses would have appreciated a country band.

Yes, those western horses would have loved being backed up by Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans. (Isn't that the greatest Canadian C & W band name EVER?!?)
