When Gunther asked Irvin about
having the small (12") mirrored
balls built into these 2 arches
Irvin asked me what I thought
I agreed that we should go over
the idea with Charly who said
he'd prefer that they didn't
revolve if they were needed at all
I don't recall this act to be
a highlight of Gunther's career
Chic: This may indeed not be a highlight of Gunther's career to Showfolks, Fans, etc. but it is nonetheless, to me a wonderful part of an exceptional man's career, ie., as I recall, 14 leopards in first half of show 14 tigers in second half, plus liberty horses and elephants.
Love the photos by the way. Somehow I never managed to get a shot of Gunther carrying Kenny from the front, just the side and the back, including the hug.
My best to you, Paul Gutheil
During our time of performances
in Venice I would be at the sound
console on the front track against
the railing between rings 2 & 3
where I also called the lights
as well as a great vantage point
That sound console "rolling rack"
with 3 main power amps & a main
mixer is among the availables in
my trash & treasure collection
It was built originally to be the
temporary sound system for the
Nassau Coliseum until the whole
place was completed & then it came
south to become the Venice system
Is that Piccolo lower right
Chic -
I can't tell for sure, it's probably Piccolo. When blowing up the picture, it's pretty clear that it is NOT someone kneeling beside the cage, and other than Frankie Saluto or Prince Paul, there wasn't anyone else short enough other than Piccolo. Could be Mark Oliver, but I doubt it. ~frank
