The Original Ed Salmon (Mummers) Florida String Band (Spring Hill, Fl) Est. 1978 -
The Ed Salmon Florida String Band is the brainchild of Ed Salmon a former captain of one of the many bands who yearly performed in the outstanding New Years Parade in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
All members are senior citizens ranging in age from 58 to 85. Their type of music is distinctly old time danceable fox trots, polkas, waltz and some swing, but 75% of it is to the peculiar strutting beat of the mummers.
The band is a non-profit organization playing for nursing homes free of charge, but they do ask for a donation from the other groups to help pay the cost of music, uniforms and sound equipment. Their average yearly performances of some forty are limited to early October to early May, but they practice year round on Monday nights at the Aripeka Elks in Hudson.
