I didn't know George Hamid was ever on the RBBB staff.; 21 October, 2010 09:33
Buckles said...: I don't think Hamid was on the staff.
The Gump probably brought him in to collect commission off the acts.
I wonder if he got anything from Concello?; 21 October, 2010 10:49

"The Gump probably brought him in to collect commission off the acts.
I wonder if he got anything from Concello?" Brilliant, just brilliant, once again. LOL Can we use this quote in the forward of the new circus book coming out next year, "Show Biz, The Real Skinny." We would be grateful, and we are anticipating a best seller. Jim Alexander has even agreed to write a chapter on photographing cage acts.
