GREAT BALLY TALKERS....The bally is sophisticated advertising.


Hi All,

Lee Kolozsy newest addition to "The Good Old Days"

GREAT BALLY TALKERS For those accustomed to Lee's lighthearted articles, this will be a departure from the expected, as He intends to treat the subject matter with the objective and serious care it truly deserves. "The bally is sophisticated advertising. It is a theatrical play intended to sell tickets to another theatrical play. It is, in essence, a free sample, a short skirt, one potato chip,your first dose of heroin, the upside down answer to the riddle you can't answer. It is, ideally, the ultimate.........................

I know you will enjoy the Great Bally Talkers.

Amazing article! I'm going to use some of that info on my remote shoots. It'll probably work just as well for controlling crowds!

Hey U.S.!

Alas, I am not Scott. Scott's on the road. I'm sure Scott will like the article too. He's great with the Bally.

The next time I talk to him, I'll mention your suggestion to him next time I talk to him. I'm not sure when that will be, considering his cell phone is dead, but it'll be sometime. I just confirmed that he was alive and not in jail today through a third party. I'm babysitting the boards while he's away. (Bail at the ready)

Hey, on this board, being mistaken for Scott is a compliment. Although if someone mixed me up on the street, I'd consider working for him as a bearded lady. emoticon

Will the Real Scott Shady Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up!!!!!!!

Hi Scott,

Glad your back. I would really appreciate visiting with you about sharing your stories and experiences. I really think they would be a great addition to Sideshow Central.

Please feel free to contact me at jrobinson@@@hubwest.com with any question and we can visit more about submitting stories.

I also enjoy a good bally, I have been very lucky to of had a few of the great bally talker/showman share some of their ballys.

There's nothing like walking down the Midway and hearing live bally.

I was at a circus the other day, they had a reptile show with taped bally. Nice show front, not much on the inside and a very weak bally. Only a buck, but was it worth it. Well a live talker even if the show is weak, is well worth it.

Thanks again for wanting to share your stories. I look forward to visiting with you about what you have to share. I know our reads will really enjoy reading about you and your families history.

Remember "The Good Old Days" and know that everyday is a "Good Old Day"

Wishing you the best,

John
