I am the granddaughter of Ramon Escorcia and am looking for any information, other pictures, or stories about him. I believe was inducted into the the Circus Bandleader Hall of Fame? I never got to meet him, but would be very greatful of anything you can share about him with me.

Hi Jeanne I'm sorry but I only

knew your grandfather briefly

over several years on Beatty in

the 60s & can say he was a very

nice fellow & a great musician

I believe Roger Smith knew him

much better than I did back then

Perhaps he will fill you in

I'll ask my pal Kenny Dodd

about him when I return to

Sarasota this Sunday as he

was the producing clown &

the show's mailman during

those years with Ramon

I played under Charlie Stevenson, and he spoke fondly of Mr. Escorcia. I believe Escorcia had the Cole Brothers band for awhile.

I'm told that your grandfather

aside from playing trumpet for

William "Boom Boom" Browning

was the band leader for a few

circuses including Hoxie Bros

& Sells & Gray
