BRIEF NOTES

Cary Bunks is attending the RBBB clown school.

Bob Blau writes that he is keeping busy, performing his juggling and magic acts. Bob also wrote a while back that he had seen the act of Danny Daniels, the "Musical Juggler" from Detroit who does "... great comedy juggling mingled with virtuoso harmonica, piano, and organ. He does the best 'reverse bounce' with a ball that I have ever seen -- more speed, height, and action -- unbelievable! He does the well known 'under the table' return but he gets more out of it than most of us. My protege and now star in her own right, Cathie Hawkins, also witnessed Daniel's act."
