So many sad anniversaries. What show was she on at the time ?

She and Gaylord were working for a show called "Circus U.S.A." produced by David Mobbs, a former Ringling marketing director. It was under a Florida Tent Rental big top. Quite possibly the same one in this photo, which was taken in Feb. 1988 at the Fair in Tampa.
Wasn't Mobbs a musician in 1 of the
show bands before he was a promoter
Thanks Jimmy. keep snapping those great pics.

I believe Belinda performed her act on the Canadian TV show 'Circus' in 1980, would love to see a vid of it, what a tragic loss to the circus world of such a beautiful and graceful artiste :-(
