First day missed in three years or so?

Scan13076, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. When I went to bed last night the computer wasn't working at all. Same thing this morning so I called Shannon, who is on his two week vacation stopped by and got it working again. He said that it needs new plugs and points. Anyway rather than a complete washout, I'll jump into the RBBB ringmaster fray. I once asked Harold Ronk if he had ever lived on the train and he answered "Absolutely not!......I don't even know what the inside of the thing looks like." He explained that being an established singer he always maintained a NYC apartment and appearing as vocalist for the show in both NY and Boston Gardens were simply a couple of convenient yearly gigs. Several years later they would fly him out west for the San Francisco and St. Louis dates, both indoors. He never made a complete season until the show was permanently indoors and there's a distinct possibility that he never even saw the show under canvas. After becoming a regular, he did miss one season. He said that the publicity people constantly complained that he never updated his photos for the program so one winter he had a portrait made and took it down town to Harry Dube's office and upon entering was informed by an office worker that he was no longer employed by the show. He gave me the reason but I'll not bore you since it's a long story. Those of you who have tapes of the GSOE TV Series, in scenes of the actual performance, will glimpse shots of Cleo Plunkett standing at the microphone by the bandstand.
