CHESTER "BOBO' BARNETT: Newsreel

Video courtesy of Raffaele de Ritis



HOLY MOLEY!

Raffaele de Ritis has just posted THE CLEAREST video that I have yet seen of the opening moments of Chester "Bobo" Barnett's act. It's just the beginning with the little car, before he gets the dogs on the turntable or plays "Peg O' My Heart" on the trumpet, performed in Berlin and filmed for a newsreel.

Thanks Raffaele!

What memories that brings back. I can remember watching him work like it was yesterday and my grandmother always talked about wanting that turntable !

When Bobo got in the car backstage he always covered it with a bedsheet so no one could see how he did it.
