Being an entertainer myself, and being raised in the Medicine Show/Toby Tent Show era, I was very impressed with Brooks MacNamara's books on the subject. The man did his research well, and I highly recommend both American Popular Entertainmets, as well as Step Right Up. Fine reading indeed for those who like to remember the "old days" of entertainment before all the glitz.

"I got into an elevator at work and this man followed in after me... I

pushed '1' and he just stood there... I said 'Hi, where you going?'  He

said, 'Phoenix.'  So I pushed Phoenix.  A few seconds later the doors

opened, two tumbleweeds blew in... we were in downtown Phoenix.  I looked

at him and said 'You know, you're the kind of guy I want to hang around

with.'  We got into his car and drove out to his shack in the desert.

Then the phone rang.  He said 'You get it.'  I picked it up and said

'Hello?'... the other side said 'Is this Steven Wright?'... I said 'Yes...'

The guy said 'Hi, I'm Mr. Jones, the student loan director from your bank...

It seems you have missed your last 17 payments, and the university you

attended said that they received none of the $17,000 we loaned you... we

would just like to know what happened to the money?'  I said, 'Mr. Jones,

I'll give it to you straight.  I gave all of the money to my friend Slick,

and with it he built a nuclear weapon... and I would appreciate it if you never

called me again."
