VIDEOS: From left, Linn County Democrats' parade entry; Linn Dems dancewith Lebanon's Hocus Pokie Dancers to "Sugar Shack" before the parade; the Usual Suspects, who performed on our float, sing "This Land is Your Land" and  "Ashokan Farewell," by Jay Ungar, which was the theme song for Ken Burns' PBS documentary series "The Civil War." Strong wind gusts forced the band to cut the piece short. Other members of the Usual Suspects are Bill Geibel, banjo; Louanne Fugal, string bass; Guy Chilton, guitar, and John Donoghue, mandolin.
