I applied by telegram from this ad in “Billboard” Magazine. I got an immediate answer hiring me as the drummer for Biller Brothers Circus. Biller Brothers was a good show. It only lasted down the road for three or four years. I was with it the first year. We played with a 12-piece band, and the leader, a guy named Jack Bell, had been the circus band leader for years, jumping from show to show. Jack Bell was a good leader. I played for the entire season.
