original "Show Beautiful"

I was a fan of Mr. Gray. His Dr. Pepper Circus at the annual State Fair of Texas, in Dallas, provided post-season work for many top acts.

BOBBY AND ME GREW UP ON THE GRAY SHOW . BOBBY STARTED WHEN HE WAS 12 AND WORKED FOR HAZEL KING WITH HER SHOW OWNED 6 HORSE LIBERTY ACT, AFTER THAT HE WORKED FOR JOHNNY HERRIOT WITH THE GIL GRAY RING STOCK. I THEN JOINED WHEN I WAS 12 AND WAS THE PONY PUNK FOR JOHNNY .WHEN JOHNNY LEFT AND CARLY PETERSON REPLACED THAT WAS OUR LAST YEAR. BOBBY CAME BACK TO THE GRAY SHOW WITH HIS DR MILLER LEASED ELEPHANTS FOR MANY YEARS AT THE DR PEPPER CIRCUS AT THE STATE FAIR OF TEXAS .
