ok now, Bobby as a jockey is flat out funny!
HE WAS THE JOCKEY FOR HALE'S PIG RACING !!
Your big brother riding a pig
would have been worth the price
of admission even for me
Mr. Information--nobody knew more about showbusiness than Bobby Gibbs. How he ever got so much to-the-minute knowledge I could never figure out, but he had it all.
I rode with Bobby for a few days when he drove a truck between Galveston and Dallas hauling "monkey pickles" (bananas) and whatever else they booked to fill in. He'd technically been out of the circus business for a few years - but just technically. He had letters from several friends and was often on his cell phone talking show biz. Never lost his nose for circus news. (Glad I made the trip with my friend, he past away the next month.)
Mr. Monkey Pickles would also take them up us59 and would catch him on the CB.
p.j.
