#ThrowbackThursday! Here’s the famed #custombuilt #Victrola float from the #Asheville Holiday Parade 2007. The float made it through another year of parading before being destroyed by the weight of snowfall. Looking on in hat at left is @andrewjfletcher, who would join the band in the piano seat in 2010.
