  1. Mitch is an amazing clown and a great person. He taught me the table rock act and how to be a better performer. But damn is he a GRUMPY old man!

  2. Mitch was a grumpy YOUNG man when I met him... That's why I LIKED him. Of course he left his weekly pay laying in his trunk and lost it a few times... that didn't help. Also as a 'First of May' he was very easy to tease...

    All in all clowning is better off having him in ANY alley.

    Party on Mitch!

  3. Mitch: Where are you and what are you doing?? We miss you. We called a couple of weeks ago and thought we left a message. You can get a hold of us; check the backs of the photos or email us at pdgutheil@earthlink.net.
    You're one of the best!!!

  5. sounds like our blog has been invaded by the "anonymous" virus that attacked Buckle's Blog.
    For the record Mitch just finished remodeling a lovely turn of the century home in Mississippi.
    Wade, why don't you sing this anonymous guy a Gershwin tune!

    ps
    what the hell's wrong with selling programs if it puts food on a man's table and provides for his family?
    All performers sell programs indirectly anyway!
