Thanks for sharing this, but oh how I wish I could hear the parade band that comes into shot at about 3:58.

Nice film, thanks for sharing this.

I do question your choice of music for this though…. I think any 1950s Mardi Gras music would have gone much better.

I’m a little surprised how many of the costumes, floats, and scenes of people dancing in the street are very much the same more than 50 years later.

Thanks for suggestion, only song found was Saints Go Marching In. Been having problems with YouTube and music I upload. At least the background is jazz. Haven’t been to Mardi Gras since then. Hope you like the change. Wolfie
