Question Goats and Antennas

Two items that have been a part of grass dance outfits are the goat anklets and roach spreader antennas.

Anybody have any idea of the reason why these are worn?

Is there any stories or history that specific tribes had concerning their use?

I have already explained why the antennea came from. The goat anklets are worn because after dancing a session with goats on your ankles a fella can work up a fierce hunger and having a goat handy to BBQ comes in real handy.

Grandpa, for someone so knowledgable you sure ask lots of questions.

Hmm, goats do a pretty good job of celaring out grass too. Perhaps a nod to the goats varacious appetite for all things green (an then some)?

That said, goats sure do dye nice colors.
