So, did you visit a show? Hope, I was there, cause recently Im out due bad injury.<br />Anyway, best wishes to you. Hope, will be able to buy your book.

There are many ringmasters out there, I assume, who I've not seen. John Moss, who I've only seen once, strikes me as representing sane middle of the road professionalism.<br /><br />What I like about Iverson the most is when he nearly drives himself crazy in gospel hall overkill, and goes into his own kind of look-at-me! dance. Then he is an amusing act.Showbiz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921904778000552196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-71699772051909548182012-01-06T05:30:52.489-08:002012-01-06T05:30:52.489-08:00I see what you are saying , Ringling does perhaps ...I see what you are saying , Ringling does perhaps on some levels ! I/we haven't been to a Ringling show since 2007 and it was the Gold show in a building. There was no ringmaster it was a pass the announcing around kind of a deal .... Ugh. The show had some professional good quality real acts and some questionable stuff. I won't go off on a personal detailed critique because that will only land me in a pile . However I adored the dachshund act!!! I personally like and enjoy John Moss. We worked together in 2001 on the 28 week lived L.E. Barnes. George Hoover laid out the program. Marshall was the musical director (5-6 pieces) all ASCAP music except he got permission from BMI to play Mambo #5 for 2 minutes a show -15 shows a week , in a max 2000 seat venue. I was the aerial director, we had 12 webs but in the chaos of opening never had rigging for all the webs ( no comment) it was " rhapsody in blue under the blue big top" and actually George Hoover figured out the music and Marshall arranged it. John Moss was the performance director and ringmaster and has such a great look ! He has a smooth voice does not scream and makes it about the acts, he is super dedicated and so into detail!Tall , classical with red tails and white riding pants . We were quite a team ! Especially Marshall and John with the construction , fabrication and daily installation of the back door curtain. I certainly have gone on ! The wonderful thing about a smaller show is similar to a concert dance company . You don't have to be ridiculous to be brilliant ! Also the audience can see you full size .Rebecca Ostroffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01290321679756590510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-91158684776059238362012-01-05T19:24:10.897-08:002012-01-05T19:24:10.897-08:00Becky, I was immensely impressed with Iverson whe...Becky, I was immensely impressed with Iverson when he first hit the scene a number of years back, not nearly so much when more recently, to my ears, he goes into overkill. But so does Ringling, so perhaps the two are made for each other? -):Showbiz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921904778000552196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-30359764921416192802012-01-05T12:38:47.438-08:002012-01-05T12:38:47.438-08:00I have to tell you last week we were at the rbbb o...I have to tell you last week we were at the rbbb or feld rehearsal for the Blue show and I was most impresses with J.L.
