After a two-day read-feast, I got through your blogs from start to finish, and what a visual, movable feast is has been. I've shared a number of your posts with my wife, Martha, who is an artist (she drew the colored pencil portrait of me on my Facebook page), poet, exPeace Corps volunteer (at age 60) and, most importantly, mother of six and grandmother of 16 or so. As a passionate circus follower since 1999, I've had the pleasure of conducting video interviews with more than a score of folks, including such Kelly Miller folks as Danny and Tavana, Chris, LeBron and, most recently, Dan Reynolds--loved your photo with Dan on the tuba/euphonium--on the Brewster, NY, lot. Until recently, I've used these interviews--which by now number at least several hundred--as the basis for stories in White Tops and Bandwagon (the Circus Historical Society journal). Having upgraded my video editing capabilities with iMovie '09 in March, I've uploaded 26 videos to YouTube. If you're interested, you may type "LaneInConn" in the YouTube search box for a list of the various title. I'm interested in the video interviews that you've accumulated since taking up with Chimera at Jacksonville, IL. (Martha and I bought a coat rack at a shop in Jacksonville in 2001 or '02 before attending a meeting of circus fans there at which David Rawls was the speaker. I lived in St. Louis for 23 years before moving to Stratford, CT, with my wife four years ago, so I got to see a lot of circuses and do a lot of interviews in the Midwest.) You're a great photographer and a very skilled writer. Please continue this effort, from your views from the trailer window to the marvelous family photos. Best wishes, Lane Talburt
Lane,
Too bad you didn't write before we were on the East Coast, it would have been so interesting to meet you.
It is great that you've been collecting video interviews (mine are only audio, video feels so awkward to me still,) I think it's a wonderful oral/visual history tool. I am missing a few more this year, and wish I had started back at Chimera.
I'd love to have your wife's comments and critiques (she sounds like someone I'd like to meet, too) and really look forward to meeting both of you around some future bend of the road.
