RIP, Archie Chan Jr.--what a great guy and a fantastic circus drummer; he was with Bill and Lee Pruyn on RBBB Blue 1970 100th Anniversary Show, when i toured for summer--and we were all so YOUNG!; he had two small sons then, added two daughters later; thankfully i have a pristine copy of the 1970 band live and there's plenty of Archie to enjoy! Bill created a brilliant but exhausting score that season and of course the drummer never gets a break...Condolences to Ana and the Chan kids...prior to RBBB, Archie played for King Bros., Clyde Bros., etc., later was Sales Director for Sells Floto. |

As I recall Archie's brother was
also a drummer possibly on the other
unit (or maybe he followed Archie)
Tai was with Chuck on CBCB one year.
Archie came over to see him somewhere around Chicago and I got to meet him.
2 really great drummers.

Thanks Bob as I couldn't remember
his name but he was also on 1 of
the Ringling units for a while
