The pictures reminded me of a book I read quite a few years back written by someone who traveled with Hoxie Bros. Circus for a season.
I think David is thinking of "Mud Show."
Buckles: Wasn't Lee already dead by 1961?
I forget the year Lee died. He was a good friend, another victim of parafined canvas.
We were around the Hoxie Show in 1961 and Lee Bradley had the side show and also a riding mechanic in the "big show"

To David and ole whitey - the two sources are:
Fred Powledge's book – Mud Show: A Circus Season (Hoxie Bros. Circus – 1975
and
National Geographic Magazine - On The Road With An Old-time Circus - John Ketterman - March, 1972
The uninitiated might not know who the Hillbilly was Col. Parker was left with. Elvis Presley.
