FROM: LANE TALBURT--

Circus music: And the beat goes on

February 24, 2012

Richard Whitmarsh has been recording his "Sounds of the Circus" series for the past 40 years and, at age 88, shows no signs of slowing down the pace. Lane Talburt sat in on the band's most recent recording session--for albums 57 and 58 (to be released later this year)--on the stage of the East Bridgewater, MA, high school auditorium. He interviewed Whitmarsh and members of the band about their contributions to preserving the rich heritage (and variety) of circus music in America.On a personal note, my 52 videos--now 53--logged their 50,000th hit earlier this week. I've been uploading videos to YouTube since March 2010.

See you down the road.
