ED SULLIVAN PRESENTS: THE WAZZAN TROUPE
Last saturday night at Showfolks Mulay Brahim came to me to ask a favor, one of the former members of the Wazzan Troupe, Baha, is ill, and Mulay & Fatima thought it might cheer him up if I could post the video of their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on Yesterday's Towns for him to see.
This movie is dedicated to Baha, who is the understander here, & as Papa Wazzan would put it, "The Most, Strong Man"
A Personal Observation: To the Wazzan Troupe, I believe there are some things we are allowed only one of in a lifetime, you were one of those things in mine. You were great pyramid builders, & great tumblers, but most of all you were "showmen", you were what Circus is about. I seriously doubt we will ever see the likes of you again!
Baha my friend, I wish you well!

Dear Bill,
Thank you for the best wishes for our friend Baha. We all wish him the best and we appreciate the memorable tribute to the Wazzan Troupe, your presentation of the troupe on the Ed Sullivan Show and your best wishes.
Your friend,
Mokhtar, from the Wazzan Troupe
Fantastic, don't you wish an act this good was in show business today?
Great energy, great tricks, great people; who could ask for anything more?
A friend of the Wazzan Troupe!
WOW! I remember this act as a kid when they worked the shrine date in Minneapolis. One of them did a series of tinsicas around the entire track in that old (and beautiful...R.I.P.) Minneapolis Auditorium. Fantastic! Thanks for the memories!
