The late Slim Price,
old-time carnival showman and moderator
of the Freakshow Discussion Group said:
"If you have any kind of interest in carny or circus lore, there is a CD you MUST own. ON THE MIDWAY… An UNCONVENTIONAL HISTORY OF THE CARNIVAL AND CIRCUS. It's an awesome piece of work! I'm still finding stuff in it, that's a pleasure to read. I was especially struck by the tribute to Mel Burkhart. Great work!
"Wonderfully written in an easy to read style, it contains days worth of material, ranging from sound files of pitches, through midway game exposures, recipes, history, sideshow freaks, rides, resources, the Carny Lingo/circus dictionary and much, much more. Of special interest are catalogues and ads from the old days, including the much sought after “Brill’s Bible” (No plans but the original catalogue) and others… It also includes several complete books, by Dickens, Houdini, Barnum and others, with several additional bonuses.
"If you have a library, this is a valuable addition. If you don’t have a library this is almost everything you’ll need for circus and carnival lore. I have no connection with this CD, it’s just that in very close to seventy years of living and loving the business I have never seen a better tribute and collection!"
There's just
too much to list it all here!
You'll be looking at this for days,
and it will become a treasured part of your collection!
