"There's no Business like Show Business". This is an opportunity to share and present Circus History with others.

This is a really serious number being presented by the 1941 Cole Bros. Circus Clown Band. Musical Director was Otto Greibling. Oh how times have changed. There used to be a Clown Band, Minstrel Band, Side Show Band and of course the Big Top Band. Now you can't even find a band.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
