My Ringling Brothers Circus Clown Days…1979-82

Video by shugemery

Had to dig some stuff out of the attic and found a bunch of my Ringling Brother and Barnum and Bailey’s Circus photos and a couple of video clips. Wow….over 30 years ago!!!
Met my wife Meg whilst on the show and the two of us are still together. We got a kick out of looking at the pictures. We were young once)))))
Found video of Charlie Frye and myself working the ring solo. Charlie was and still is the most talented feller I know. http://charliefrye.com/ Check him out.
Many pictures from performing on the arena floor and backstage and on the circus train. Living on the train…..Meg and I still talk about that after all these years,
Hope you enjoy looking at this if so inclined. I and we thankee.
