Michael Jackson was a frequent visitor to attractions in the Central Florida area. Here he is with Monica and George Bertini, (brother and sister) teenage unicyclists at Circus World in the early mid 80's. Photo from Circus World archives.

Much of the music made famous by the late superstar has been used during the past 4 decades to accompany circus acts, including most recently "Thriller" at Sailor Circus in Sarasota.

I have a similar picture of Michael Jackson under the steps to our alley. It is of my wife Terri and Heidi Vogel, now Heidi Macklin. (Heidi opened Disney’s door to me 23 years ago.) Michael’s people were tapping at the time and Heidi and Terri got about 30 seconds of air time as the credits ran at the end of his TV special latter that year.
