Photo and comments courtesy of Tom Holbrook




Pat,

I saw that you posted the photo I own that Arte found on-line & emailed you through your blog some info on this image.


Here is another image of the Sherman Brothers in the Shrine Circus Clown Band, I believe from the 1962 or so. Maybe someone can help us with the show.

clownalley.net is getting bigger. Glad to be of help.

Hope you too can be of help to my research on the Sherman Brothers.
I am in need of ANY and ALL info, photos, programs, articles, stories,...

Anyone out there have any scans of photos or articles on Chester and Joe that I can pass along to Tom to help him with his research?


As for this picture, I think that it's...


TOP ROW: Chester Sherman, unsure, Jimmy Davidson, Al Ross, Charlie Lewis, Al Ackerman (?), unsure and Joe Sherman

BOTTOM ROW: Bob-lo (?), Happy Kellams, Carl Marx and Dick "Rocko" Lewis


If this is a photo from 1962 it has got to be extremely late is Dick Lewis' career.

Next to Joe Sherman is Bill Alcott, I believe the little person down front is Ruby Landrus, not Joe "Capt. Bob-Lo" Short.

The presence of Ackerman, Alcott, Marx, & Rocko Lewis tells me Orrin Davenport Show, they were pretty much regulars there.
