HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!

In the "Jungle Drums" aerial ballet on The Gil Gray Circus in '62 Trudy was preceeded in the ring by a maiden dancing on a huge drum, accompanied by 7 shield carrying dancers.

carmen del molino made a fantastic entrance with her trapese act -- she was the epitome of style and class with her cape and all the little things she did before climbing up the web. she had a special way of kicking off her high heels and twirling the rope -- she always got more applause with her entrance than most acts ever got at the end. Such a beautiful performer and a beautiful person. she was the perfect centerpiece for a big aerial ballet.
Those first impressions on all of those pictures are excelent. The girls all look so beautiful' and the mens, pretty good looking' there is no ned to do the act's. Just kidding'.
