Okay, so how did this whole bed of nails thing start? We'll, okay...to move forward we have to step back - way back to 1986, the year I got out of high school. I got a job after high school - well, I went to the university shortly after, but that is another story...so after high school, I get a JOB at a perfume factory and in the summer, the carnival rolls into town and they have a magician and a sideshow.
I was like wow - a magician. His name was Harry Albacker. Harry and I struck up a conversation between cleaning our animal cages and eatting soft pretzels from Baker Bob's pretzel stand. Well, Harry said...go see Rick down at the SideShow he might need a magician.
I had already met Rick when I walked the lot afew days ago. Rick looked like the magician from "The Magic Show" - yep, that's the one...long hair, rainbow suspenders...Doug Henning.
When I first met Rick he was unloading a Zig-Zag from his motorhome. Wow, those were the days...I remember them and I think I will till the day I die. Perhaps I will spend my whole life trying to find those 'good old days' when I toured with "Dr. Blood's Circus Sideshow" You know what they say...There's no business like show business.
Okay...I'm going to stop this post right here...but...check back...there is more.
