- When a person used to get married long ago, nearly always some boys used to dress up in straw as well as they were able. So that nobody would know them. Then they would go round playing music and looking for money. These Straw Boys as they were called go round yet when a wedding takes place, but not as often as long ago. These Straw Boys used to get money in nearly every house they visited.
