Johnny on cassette mp3- Old Showman's Heaven -1999

Buckles,
At one time I purchased a cassette through Circus Report of Johnny reading his poetry. Here is the mp3 of his Old Showman's Heaven. and I've also included the track "Circus was my Thing".... what a legacy! we'll miss him.

I'm sure they're under copyright protection, but I knew you've heard these, and I'm enjoying listening to him this morning.

I sure recall listening to Colonel Herriott in Baraboo in the early years when I was a teenager and thought then he made circus life sound so appealing, that if I had not been born in the business, I would have surly ran off and joined a circus.
A true Icon of the Big top, and a lot of fun to debate with. A class act when it came to training and presenting a variety of animals act over the years. I take honor in having been around in a time to have got to meet and know so many fine folks such as Johnny Herriott. Will miss that part Sir. JC Hall
