 Attached is a photo of Keith Greene's "Band Boy" on the Red Unit in 1979. (He was the one who would put the music books on the musicians' music stands before each performance and put them away afterwards.) He was on the show for a number of years and probably had other duties beside passing out the music. I'm trying to come up with his name, and any help your Blog readers can provide will be GREATLY appreciated. Many thanks. Eric  |

I cut up many a jackpot with him and Dave Mullaney but his name escapes me.
Larry?
Dick Schneider would know.
David was one of the old hands from under canvas days..
i just contected Jeraffe Stang from las vegas telling me the name of the person s name is Larry Robie notorious for taking his dentures off and putting them in his beer mugs in public bars . Cleanraul.
Yes his name was Larry and he did a great job for bandsmen and perf.Director. We had great times with Larry. He was part of the wardrobe dept. and was with Merle, Bob Dover, myself and others.
Just remembered his last name. Larry Robie. He would have our tux hung up. shirts, etc. He always had a cold beer for me right after the night show. Nice little perk bring part of the GSOE. We all liked him and he enjoyed our ribbing him. Nice Guy.
From Eric:
Many thanks to everyone for helping me identify him.
Larry is correct. He was there with Merle Evans as well. Also he worked on some big name dance bands. Music stands, stand lights, chairs, Red Floyd's drums were also part of the job.

Larry Robie had cancer of I think his throat as he used a “voice box microphone“.
I don’t know the correct terminology what this is called, I know he used to hold it to his throat to speak, after his diagnosis he left Ringling and stayed at the El Patio Motel in Venice until he died.
Sue Lenz is correct about Larry Robie last year wife and i stayed in El Patio sine we know the owners and there is the larry Robie suite name after him . Clean Raul
