No mention of the elusive Mr. Concello but plenty of familiar names that remained with him for a long time, George Werner, The Sheriff, Hamburger Jack, etc......
See Duke Drukenbrod listed as Clyde's manager. Duke had been a longtime hand on the corp. shows as sideshow manager for Hagenbeck Wallace,etc. Anyone know how long he was his manager?
I just called my good circus fan friend Mike Piccolo to ask him about Duke Drukenbrod. Mike said he was walking down the midway in Uniontown, Pa with his large photo album. Duke was making the sidehow pitch and over the loud speaker and he said hey you with the photo album come over here. Mike said Duke was always dressed to perfection and they were great friends to the end. Great days of the circus. Harry in Texas

That's quite a list of circus personalities on one show.

I am delighted to see the names
of so many folks that I have known
I was merely 1 year old in 44
Boy oh boy how time flys when
you're having fun
I would accompany Kenny Dodd on
visits to Art in his later years
both in his "NorthArt" office &
also in his train cars behind it
He would regale us with tales of
this show that seemed to have a
very special place in his memory
Kenny would prefer to see him in
this location so as to minimize
Art's coming to his house with a
cigar (dropping ashes) smelling
up the place for days
Interesting to see Shorty Henkle
(spelled with an E) as music for
the sideshow Looks to be an early
P/C title (only kidding)
