Members of the
Green
Street Mortuary Band brave all weather in North Beach and Chinatown
for a swan song. The band, now in its third decade, is popular among Chinese
American mourners and is a fixture in North Beach. Led for many years by
Lisa Pollard, who played sax for Duke Ellington and was a onetime leader
of Finocchio's house band, the
10-piece Green Street combo leads funeral processions through favorite
neighborhood hangouts of the dearly departed.
