While I do not really know these people, I must say that Mike and Carolyn Rice have trained and present some first class animal acts! I look forward to seeing the "Beatty Show" (I still call it that) again when they are back in Florida.

Carolyn Rice:
UTUBE Marty Stuart - "Kiss Me, I'm Gone."
The entire video was shot at Tommy Hanneford Winter Quarters back in the 90's..A number of Hannefords performers appeared including Tommys Elephants, clowns,Gabriella Tommy & Nellie Hanneford. Carolyn Rice got most of the camera time besides Marty Stuart. Its worth checking out..Carolyn was formerly on Ringling and has been around animals and various circus since....At the time of "KISS ME I'M GONE" I did a marketing angle with Nashville record producer and the various country music stations in conjunction with Hanneford Circus appearance in the towns we were appearing in. The Nashville record company gave me different items for the radio to give away...Great Promotion when you are looking for something different to pitch...Marty was a hoot at the shoot....Glenn Parkins, set the entire deal...Tommy Hanneford was nervious that it might cause some problems with surrounding neighbors..Especially, if a number of people had heard of a film crew in the area...Came along at a good time...I hope this will shade some light on Carolyn and the next time you catch Cole Bros. Circus mention this to Carolyn...great person..And so is Mike Rice..What a camel act he presents...Mike spent a number of years around Jim & Cathy Hetzer Shows...
