Circus Music given it's due5
Now, you are probably thinking, "How hokey! Who'd buy a cd of Circus music?"

I did, and I'm glad I did.
This cd puts into prospective the true art of the circus orchestra.
What passes for background music has a wonderful and energetic history. Some of the best musicians to be found were in such orchestras.
David Foil's excellent liner notes puts this into perspective.

"...there was this big book-it looked like the phone book for a town...we get finished with the thing and it's intermission! The conductor says, "Look under your seat, "and there was another book: that was the second act. Two thick tomes-that was the music for that year's edition."
