Blue Show 1978 #1 (From Eric Beheim)

1978 RBBB-1, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Playing in the band, I would never get to see the Ringling show when it was in San Diego, and would always have to drive up to Anaheim or Long Beach to catch a performance or two there. In 1978, for the 108th Edition (my all-time favorite) I saw the show in Anaheim and again in Long Beach. I arranged to be in Long Beach on a Saturday so I could take photos in the backyard during the morning show, and then attend the matinee and evening shows. Here are my Kodachrome color slides from that day. (I’m counting on Buckles to provide us with background information on who and what we are seeing in these photos.) Eric "These arrived at an appropriate time since the SLAM BANG SHOW opens tonight. In this picture Gary and I watch Ted as he wipes out "Anna May's" mouth prior to the leg-carry." Buckles
