Miguel Vazquez and the Flying Vazquez were another one of those, "watch close, you may never see the likes of this again." I was an honor for me not only to witness the quad every day, but to work with the Vazquez family Juan, Patricia, Miguel and Rosa on Ringling Bros. Miguel became every trapeze artist's GGW, every one wanted to be Miguel. Irvin Feld told Miguel and myself one day during rehearsal's that the 1984-1985 edition of the Greatest Show on Earth was "probably the best, most talent filled show I have ever produced." A lot of other folks felt the same way. Unfortunately, Irvin died a few short month's after the show's opening. I am so proud to have been a part of that magic.
A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.
