Safe driving out there today!

Vintage Pretty Gritty! Lots of Halloween parties and events this weekend. These guys might inspire costume ideas:

Jazz trumpet player and orchestra leader Clyde McCoy with trumpet and sousaphone player, Louisville, KY. Clyde attended Louisville Male High School. Here he poses with his trumpet while wearing a plaid baseball uniform (over a shirt and tie) and baseball glove. Another man, unidentified, plays Sousaphone while wearing the catcher’s costume. Date not specified. University of Louisville Photo Archives. 

Have fun!


Vintage Pretty Gritty Day! Have a great weekend, biking, flea marketing, trolley hopping, and whatever else! And if you didn’t see, apparently Louisville is a cyclist’s paradise? Thoughts?
