Perhaps a first for a Hugo show. Or if not, the first Florida dates in many, many years. Also, C&B is making a coast-to-coast tour (or at least very close to that) in '08.<BR/><BR/>Second, in conjunction with the 2009 revival of the Great Circus Parade in Milwaukee, Kelly Miller will produce the big top performances at the lakefront in the days prior to the big parade. JRN II is going to show his stuff!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-76046494265395729142008-03-15T13:56:00.000-07:002008-03-15T13:56:00.000-07:00Thanks, Joey, for your recommendation I am about ...Thanks, Joey, for your recommendation I am about to order something.

BUT the history that is contained inhis collection is well worth taking chance! I am about to buy his cat trainers video that has a Terrell Jacobs act on it that I need to see.<BR/>Hey Wade, I found a clip of Martin Lacy Jr. on youtube the other night! It is less than two minutes but good stuff. It is titled "the great martin lacy jr".

Same with the sound quality occasionally. All in all, not to bad, as they do record "the good old day's" for posterity. I would suggest a free copy to artist's depicted, as I assume a lot were <BR/>bootlegged initially, would be a kind gesture. <BR/>Wade BurckAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-13192937206306307202008-03-11T06:31:00.000-07:002008-03-11T06:31:00.000-07:00Henry, I recently discovered the Hakes video websi...Henry, I recently discovered the Hakes video website. What an impressive collection, or so it appears. How are they? I am particularly interested in Ringling 1959 and 1968.
