I was interested in the animals on the show as I had been the previous year on the first circus band, which I played drums. I was interested in that show, in the trained horses. That show, before we were married, had a horse act that they brought eight horses into the tent, took to eight different points around the track and turned them loose. And then, the trainer, the man with the act, picked up the microphone and called commands. The eight horses gradually ran to the center ring and got in their show position with the number of each horse following the number ahead of it, one through eight. Only on command, voice command, and this was pretty impressive to me. And that act was only on that show. But on Biller Brothers, we had another horse act doing different tricks.
