There must have been a mistake to add this picture in with Cat Greats...
CN
Mr. Burck was definitely one of the greatest of the last 30 years, and we can be sure we will never see an act like this again. Thank you
Nicole
It isn't everyone that receives such plaudits from the Co-Producer of the Greatest Show on Earth!
You never know who's going to turn up on the Blog! ~frank
This is the the person who signed there name cn. I have a question. On what basis did you make that statement?
Adam Burck
Bravo Bravo and more Bravo.
for Nicole.
she is definitely right...
and yes....you never know who's...
so be nice and tell the true...always...
Sincerely Mireille.Theron Arnosi.
Adam,
It is show business(welcome, son) and thus a "basis" is not really necessary for a statement or for much else. LOL
Pops
Though I would never vouch for his personality (Jerk) I would say that leaving his name off a list of "cat greats" would be ridiculous. I would go so far to say he is the best American cat "trainer" that has worked...and I would hop up on Clyde Beatty's coffee table to say it. I am not measuring showmanship or presentation or anything other then getting big cats to do tricks...Which this guy can do hands down...
Haven't commented on blog much since end of season. Internet so slow at home it takes an hour for Buckles Blog to load all the pics (High Quality pictures are big) I can't even see what we are commenting on here, but I can read the comments. Can't wait to open (Feb 9th) and get somewhere with a better signal, so I can go back to the routine of reading the blog.
Casey,
Define jerk? Is that someone who give's you what they learned over many years freely, or someone who post's "watch and learn" you tubes. LOL
Be safe friend,
Wade
Anyone who makes a statement like CN proofs to me that he doesn't know anything about animal training and shouldn't write any comments like this and sign them as anonymous.
Can't blame it on me, this time! Or anytime, for that matter. Despite what anybody is/isn't when you come out of that arena, my hats off to all those good/bad(?)/indifferent who have the "balls" to go in an arena with cats!
Pete, the Baraboobian!
Wade,
Both of course!
Wade...
Its only a matter of time before Casey starts wearin "Snake-skins'..
and claims he was raised in North Dakota..
Best
The Curator
P.S. However,If memory is correct... it was not too long ago when aspiring Tiger/Bear trainers dyed their Hair Blond and spoke with a 1/2 @ss German accent...
Curator,
The bear trainer you reference was always aspiring. The tiger trainer wasn't. Give Casey a break, the sideshow business is so competitive and hard to excel in, the easiest option was tigers. He doesn't need Garden Hose, N.D as his Bethlehem. He uses Paris, Texas, a marketing promoters dream.
Be safe friend,
Wade Burck
Zych,
Back 20 years ago I was seriously considering getting some Buddy Holly glasses and a checkered suit for my "Roly Boly" act. I think I will skip the snake skins & mullet though. Some things just never come into fashion!
Wade,
I don't know on the Paris Vs. Garden Hose. Using the line "I got your Paris RITE HERE!" in interviews just doesn't get the same effect. It surely won't get me stick drawing commissioned by the Governor.
Zych,
Here's what the translation is for what Casey said:
Realizing I had neither the machismo for snakeskins and a mullet, or the charisma for Buddy Holly glasses and checkered suit, I opted instead for a western look, because I thought "I" was "America's own."
