Definitely Lou on 2 stacked curb

sections (right) with a squeezebox

Likely to be Albert (Flo) White

on the left

Just noticed the bass drum straps

over his shoulders as well as the

right foot gimmick to the beater

Kinda like a 1 man band outfit

In the Academy Award motion picture Lou can be seen with the jingle bell hat and bass drum during the parade scene into Cedar City after the train wreck.

That's also the same calliope

float as shown in #18 below

Bill Ballantine did a wonderful pen and ink rendering of Lou as a one-man-band, complete with the bell cap, which was one of Lou's walkaround gags.
