From Jerry Digney #2


CIRCUS_JUNETVSPEC, originally uploaded by bucklesw1.

Ad for 1975 circus TV special on NBC. these always aired in Feb. and were shot early Jan.at the Bayfront Center. a great marketing tool for the show/tours--there hasn't been an RBBB circus TV special
in years...i think it's time to bring one back..TV landscape is right,

Does ANYONE remember Gunther EVER sticking his head into a lion's mouth? ~frank

by the way, Frank, Gunther never worked lions either but it looked good in the ad.

in recent history

Not my favorite cat act

I was on that show in 75... never saw Gunther w/ a lion, but he did try to put his head down my girlfriend's blouse once. I couldn't blame him either. She was a belly dancer.
