Ringling-Barnum Blue Unit 1979 #1 (From George MacPherson)


(Barbara and "Anna May" leading the herd in for the show's opening long mount.)


Buckles, these are not that good in quality and are not necessarily for publication on the Blog but is intended to see what the Big Show looked like when it was indeed The Greatest Show on Earth.
A local Dentist took these shots in Culumbia, SC in January or February of 1979. George MacPherson. Posted by Picasa

What's amazing is getting the lions in place to start the act with elephants and dancers circling the cage. How many acts could do that today.

Your dentist friend is lucky he got those photos out of the building with his life, considering the Dick Brown/Lou Barton brigade--if anyone remembers what I'm talking about. Try that today over there, and Kenny would try to resurrect Alcatraz.
