Chuck,
Now don't get mad but I have no idea what you are talking about.
I just don't know about that stuff.

Sorry, I will try to post the direct link.

Interesting group.
They look like "let's get this over with so we can get down to some serious partying.
As an ex director and player I see some odd things.
Why does the helicon (bass) player have his jacket open?
Why does the snare drummer have a different jacket?
I'm ready.

Chuck,
Some funny stuff there but all written words are backwards. ???

You'd have to ask Barnum & Bailey.......extra expanse area for more wind; it's being washed....

Yes, I noted that in the earlier post. The capture/processing reversed left and right. You can try viewing the flipped stuff in a mirror. Not sure it's worth the effort. It was funny to see the way they off'd John Williams and the London symphony and then brought in Danny Elfman and had "Luke" wack him with his light sabre.

Yes it was.

They look like escapees from one of the Kaiser's bands!

The circus came to our area by train on the Ohio side of the river when I was a kid. They unloaded and crossed a bridge to Wheeling Island
where the circus was held. The next day a real parade was held on the island before the opening. Of course it was FUN.

When I was young, there were still a few small travelling circuses that came through Westminster each summer. Miller Bros., Cole Bros. (later Kelly Bros.), and maybe one or two others. They set up in a field across the street from our house. It was pretty fun watching the whole process and later going to the show. The circuses took a lot of bad press for maltreatment of their animals, but I never saw anything indicative of that (that's not to say it didn't happen). When my kids were young I took them, and they enjoyed going. The big top, sawdust on the floor, rickety old bleachers for seats, and the smell of roasting peanuts. They stopped coming probably fifteen or so years ago. Just a memory now...

Remember that the complaints about the mistreatment of animals usually came from persons needing a cause.
I wonder what it is now?
Oh, I know. It's those awful people with guns.

What I always liked , as a boy, when the circus came to my hometown and paraded thru, exactly like that photo, was the sounds the elephants made. The shuffling of their feet was remarkable, and the sound of their breathing was particularly special to experience, for me, at least.

Well, it does seem that there are lot of them......
