In the world of Sideshow entertainers proberly more so than any other branch of entertainment the desire to perform till the end of the road is common.
Just received a call from Stromboli (He of Fire and Steel and Elephant man fame) We have been friends for more years than I care to remember,,,he has one of the most commercial twelve minute Music Hall spec acts in the biz. Well age, rapidly failing sight,,,,coupled with the fact that Sylvia has not driven for years so transport problems are huge, plus many other health ailments,,,does this guy quit,,,hell no, he still does his Fire and Sword act and talks all over the UK with his Crown Jewels show. I have yet to get his permission to have him stuffed so that he can continue on the road in my show rather than leave us for the Big Top in the sky. Respect to him and all the old codgers out there still turning the tip. |

Ditto!
Bobby Reynolds has given permission for a proper stuffing and return to the road. Also I plan to have my head shrunk. Any volunteers? Doug

I could make good money showing a free-dried Bobby Reynolds. There are a number of people out there that will pay good money just to see with their own eyes that he's dead! By the way, the coin-op device that sucks in a buck and then plays a minute of Bobby doing his two headed baby opening was my idea.

I'll make sure you get credit.
We're working on the Hydralic and Neumatic systems now to animate the body...then it's on to the Software for a fully Animatronic Reynolds Pitchman which can be leased out to Sideshows...Dept. Stores etc. One of them will be REAL! No one will be able to tell which one...unless you know the secret. If you try to sell it something and it BUYS IT...that's the real Bobby.

Doug, if I'm nearby when you die, I'd be honored to shrink your head! I'd even make you a miniature pair of glasses, though the prescription might be off a bit!

Thanks Harley! Don't think I'll need the glasses though...but thanks anyway!
What a Pal!
