jerry digney said...: the spec number was great, one of the best, with a big flashy payoff and of course Harold Ronk made the number with his dazzling baritone bravado--a dramatic finale to the first half! the score for this edition was one of Bill Pruyn's great triumphs; the scope and quality of this edition's productions set the tone and glamour standard for the next decade of Ringling shows, thanks in no small measure to Don Foote's genius; a side note about Don: he was one of the most genial, unassuming talents that you could ever work with--a joy...and a very funny guy--his sense of humor kept him afloat in a sea of stress, egos and deadlines; and his skills were tailor made for the circus and Irvin's vision. It was a good team and Don left us way too young.; 16 April, 2009 23:52
