 Spent most of the day yesterday with RBBB Blue in Newark. Saw 3 & 7 shows. As you must know, 6 bulls. Happily surprised to see they brought Patrick Harned up. Had nice visit with him & Sonny Ridley, probably the last time I'll see him after 35 years or so. Last time I personally will see elephants on RBBB, sad, very, very sad Probably my last visit with Sonny Ridley after about 35 years. Alex Vargas on hand too. How many did you have on RBBB in '94, 14 ? "We had twenty four!' ......Watch It! Peggy's about to eat your camera bag! |

Son of gun, I knew you had a lot, but couldn't recall, damnit, A beautiful even two dozen, and we spent a few days with you dear folks. Well, back to the photo files.
Who was the lady you were giving the douche to back then? Dear Lord, those were the days!!!
PS, Peggy, fortunately did not eat my camera bag, but a few years later one of Mary Ruth's dogs christened it . . . and I'm still using it, sentimental old fool that I am.
PAUL THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL THE FINE PICTURES OVER THE YEARS. OH, CHIC I AM SORRY I DO NOT GET TO BUCKLES BLOG RIGHT AWAY LIKE YOU ALL DO. I ASK YOU ABOUT THE PINK LIGHTING THAT "DON FOOT" ASK FOR, BACK FURTHER DOWN THE BLOG.........BARBARA.........
No problem Barbara but to explain
further that the standard 3 colors
for striplight glass has been red
blue & green since their earliest
use in theater lighting as they
were mostly used as overhead or
as an upstage skydrop groundrow
These could be blended to provide
nearly any color but when used as
footlights around the track did
not get blended & weren't kind
to the passing parade & costumes
Don asked me if anything might
be done to provide warmer color
such as pink in the striplights
Kopp was & still is the primary
glass manufacturer for roundels
I visited their corporate office
in Pittsburgh & met with several
of the big wigs & engineers who
took an interest in our rather
unusual request & what it would
take for them to formulate the
dye process & to custom run a
rather tiny batch of glass for
us but surprisedly agreed to it
Hence our Pink Roundels
I might still have the original
sample which will be yours (if
I can find it)
