Ringling_Merle1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Two more shots for your MERLE layout:: Seen here, a relaxed Merle clowning around backstage at Madison Sq. Garden in '68; I have a lot of original shots of Merle in scrapbooks i've amassed over the years. When I joined RBBB, he had already left (the talented Bill Pruyn succeeded him with a very different kind of musical flavor) but believe i met him later on as he active long past Ringling years.
