"Say it ain't so, Joe"
It looks like 1938 and 1956 again.
What next.
Losing 2 prestigious shows
at nearly the same time is
very disturbing to all of us
I guess it's only shows like
"the greatest show that was"
as well as "circ do sowhat"
will carry on instead of the
grand traditional productions
So very sad indeed
I sure looked forward and enjoyed all my visits on the Big-Apple and was always welcomed on the lot sorry to hear this news they sure put on some class shows over the years
Frank, tell Gail Howdy for me ?
Diane and I were devastated when you all left and now I am devastated yet again. The BAC was a big and very wonderful part of our lives for going on 35 years. I found it ironic that the last edition was called The Grand Tour. It was one of their very best. The last performance I saw was the evening show on June 9th in Queens with dear friends Maxine House (former BAC school teacher) and her hubby JP Cunningham. I took around 500 photos. Final performance was Sunday June 12th. SAD, OH SO VERY SAD.
PAUL: Is JP Cunningham the same who was our mailman and first trombone on the 1981 Beatty show? He was a great guy, and a known lifer.
Yes, another sadness. What are we to be left with, seeing tradition vanish...?
Quoting the last 2 lines from
"Bookends" by Simon & Garfunkel
"Preserve Your Memories"
"They're All That's Left You"
At least as long as we can
still remember Roger
We are keepers of the flame
I believe that he is the
same fellow Roger
Hi Roger,
JP is definitely the same fellow...circus musician, Fan and all around great person.
Don Covington
Roger, I sincerely second the comments made by Don Covington of whom the same may be said.
JP is also a fantastic driver.
