Someone asked me today (like I should know) about hummers. Supposedly it has something to do with funeral? music, maybe New Orleans music? Chanting? I said, "Hey I don't know, but if no one at mudcat has heard of it, it does not exist!" Can anyone help?

Well, Zorro, the first thing that comes to mind for me is those obnoxiously huge and expensive military/recreational vehicles that, in my opinion, should be banned from the highways. (Click for more information)

I think what your questioner might have meant is mummers. In New Orleans, during Mardi Gras, and in other cities, most notably Philadelphia, there are huge masks and elaborate costumes paraded once per year, along with music, etc.

I did not find a direct reference to "mummers" in New Orleans, but did find many for places elsewhere, from Oregon, to the UK. For some vivid photos of the costuems and historical info from Mardi Gras in New Orleans, click here.

I did not find a specific "mummers" reference to the famous jazz processional bands of New Orleans which traditionally play for funerals, but that is what came to mind right away when I read your question.

Hope this helps.

My Apologies.. It is MUMMER and not hummer. Katlaughing was correct. They are clubs that originated in 17th. century Europe; once a year they put on elaborate costumes and visit one another's homes, etc. They are very active in Philadelphia and other cities. I live in Houston, and in near by Galveston, Texas, there is a Mummers club and they come out for the Madi Gras parade there. Thanks to all. Z....

Ohhhhh.....Mummers. Them we got - click here and here and, of course, here for a little bit of Mummer stuff that's been here before, and there is one song (click) in the database that mentions mummers. I'd say the Philadelphia Mummers are the best known. They're at www.mummers.com, dontchaknow.
But if it's an $80,000 car that's two lanes wide, we don't have any.

Yeah, I knew that. Seems I am saying this a lot lately. I knew about those guys in the fancy dancy outfits in Philadelphia's New Years Day parade. And usually lots of banjo's (tenor type). I knew they were something close to hummer. But all I could think of was HumVees (those vehicles Joe hates) and oral sex (which no one wants to talk about). There, it's said. All those adolescent minds can now go to sleep.

Just wondering
And those of you who don't live with hummingbirds, do you know they're called that because they actually make a sort of buzzing zzzzzzzzzzip as they divebomb you (and every other time)? The noisiest ones around here are the Rufous Hummingbirds, and they go zzzzzzzzzzzzziiiinnnnng! (like they had bells on). Amazing birds. Large moths are bigger. Ours all packed off for warmer climes about three weeks ago.

We have the Rufous hummngbirds here. They're truly wonderful. My cat actually caught one once, but I rescued it. It was fine, and flew away after catching its breath for a minute. But I can't describe the feeling of blessedness, holding a hummingbird in my hand. It left a couple of tiny little feathers in my hand, which I wrapped up in a tissue and have held onto for the ten years or so that have passed since then. (This story would have had a much different feel to it if the darned cat had killed the bird. This is why I don't have bird feeders at my house. The cat thinks they're a sushi bar...)

BK- "Gutter" or "dirty" or "filthy" or otherwise/whatever, I could care less. I've often said I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm only offended by how we treat each other. But I'm also chiefly concerned about what I think of ME. And right now, I ain't too choked up about myself. When I allow my own simpleass opinions to somehow bear more weight than respaect for friendship, I'm truly fucked up then.......and I see that I am now.

When I saw this thread I thought we were going to be complaining about people who hummed while others performed. I see I was wrong on two accounts. I don't know too much about the first account. I've heard of Mummers and I've seen them on TV and in books, but thats about it.

The second account, I have only one question..how did something that gives us one of life's greatest pleasures (I'm referring to sex) get such a bad rap?? I'm an older woman and I've spent my whole life wondering about that. Well, not my whole life, just whenever someone refers to sex as something other than wonderful. I don't know. Seems awful silly to me.

From: katlaughing

Annap, it's because, in the patriarchal world of old, and even of today in some places, enjoying sex was against the control of the church. It meant women, might choose to be free, instead of subservient wombs.

In all cases, the church wanted to have complete control of its "sheep", esp. the women. By making sex, for anything other than procreation, supposedly dirty, evil, and abhorrent, people lived in fear and under the thumb of their priest or church elders. Some still do.

Some are so rigidly into the only for procreation bit that they actually never experience the pleasure of it; they approach it as a necessary duty; then, if they are brave hypocrits, they fly in the face of their convictions and go have sex with a "filthy whore" without ever admitting any pleasure. All the while, their women at home remain "pure" in the eyes of them and their "lord".

The Puritans were great at such self-denial; effectively cutting themselves off from any physical pleasures. I believe our country still suffers from such a legacy.

Annap---If you haven't read it, go find a copy of the late Allen Sherman's book, "The Rape of the A. P. E." Completely hilarious, but one specifically memorable chapter,"Short Chapter, Long Footnote." The chapter is one word long---FUCK. The next 15 or 20 pages are the footnote.

Hi

I don't know the connection, but in NEwport Rhode Island one of the oldest neighborhoods is called "the Point' and people from that neighborhood have been called "hummers" for at least 100 - 150 years, as in "He's a real, old point hummer!" meaning, an old timer, a native...

John "fud" Benson, a nationally known artist, and incidentally a fine folk musician, lived on the shore there for many years and had a lobsterman's skiff named "Point Hummer" That neighborhood was settled around 1650 and has a lot of historical assocaitions dating back to when they hung 17 pirates in a row on the beach by the end of what is now Washington Street...so you can make any folk association you want with the sea or old-timers

Gee, WyoW, where do you go fishing for guys? No doubt there are lots of guys who fit the picture you drew, but certainly not all. And, with a good teacher, those attidues do evolve beyond mere rutting to a glorious sharing. Seems like the more mature I get (Phew! Started to say older) the more gals I encounter who are also interested in a joyous mutuality. I suspect the real problem is that our two halves have different and differing objectives during the peak breeding years, and then differentially grow into the beauty of sharing. Here's a pint to the joy of continuing to evolve!

Yes, I know there are people of both descriptions who go for the glorious mutuality -- and I've certainly had my share of that -- but I'm also amazed, even now that I'm "mature" that there are still men who are playing this idiot game. Or, even more disheartening, the ones who seem to like you really well, things go along nicely and then, all of a sudden they get all squirrely because ... I don't know, best I can tell they think you want to marry them and bear the fruit of their loins. Which, when you're "mature" is particularly dumb, since my children are of fruit-of-loin-bearing age now.

I always wonder, when you've done all that withholding of yourself, what you end up actually holding...

Don't mind me. I'm just mulling.

Lee Shore, wheah you stay? I thought I was the only Mudcatter in the islands. Glad to know I'm not alone!

Aloha,
Mark, in Hilo (who used to go to the Mummer's Parade on Broad Street -- see beginning of thread -- every New Year's Day, back when it was on Broad Street)

I am trying to find out where I can purchase a Linda Allen CD with the track October Roses on it. Also L Tanner and Sue Edmonds CD with The IPD track on it. Can anyone help?

Just to stop this outrageous thread creep, to get back on track, a hummer is one of two types of female orgasm, the other being a bang. Mrs Skipjack told me that 18 years ago, having read it somewhere, Cosmopolitan, no doubt, and this has been my first chance to pass that little nugget on.

A kid could get quite an education here at Mudcat.

What is a hummer? Hell, I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot tongue.

Isn't a "hummer" a kazoo or someone who plays one?
