With this exception of Dieter Tasso (Krackow)

all other images shown today are "pole" acts

Several of my favorite wire acts were "no pole"

including Manfred Fritsch "Doval" Gene Mendez

& The Carillo Brothers

Dieter Tasso made a lasting impression on me as a small boy, seeing him for the first time, circa 1950.

Dieter is still going strong

I inherited a few of his custom

Austrian silk folding opera top

hats in bright colors

I caught the Ringling show when Doval did a solo on the high wire, almost step for step the act of Harold Alzana, even reprising the ascent and descent music, "Impossible".
