(An interviewer could just say "hello" and Bobby would do about twenty minutes of monologue, telling the listeners what a great show was coming to town. He was amazing.)<BR/><BR/>At one point, I arranged for Bobby to get the cover of the Sunday supplement, Parade Magazine. He was delighted and tried to give me a cash tip. I was a bit shocked by that and refused. It seemed that in the past it was customary for a performer who got a big publicity hit to give the publicist some cash.<BR/><BR/>Late in their lives, Bobby and Harold shared a small house in flats (not the ritzy part) of Beverly Hills. I was honored to be invited to several parties there when the Ringling show was in town. They were both gracious gentlemen and wonderful hosts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
