Dear UMA FANG-MILY,
... One important genetic strain, of my shape-shifter 'Lineage', has been the CLOWN.
... Numerous faces, names, attitudes/purposes & places; running the gamut {&, sometimes, Gauntlet} from the sad KELLY/SKELTON type, to the Happy BOZO type... yet, never, an evil clown; to do so would violate the heart of this Being, of whom the English Philosopher/Poet, COWPER writ:
"The Clown: The Child, of Nature, without guile."
... I was the very first clown hired, by KINGS ISLAND, Cinci, Ohio {which was later purchased, by PARAMOUNT}; 'e was an English Cockney Bloke, named, LUCKY, OLDE BEANE. It was a tandem job, I also, developed and ran KINGS ISLAND'S first 2 HALLOWEEN WEEKEND extravaganzas, Ad 1974 &'75.
... I watched, in rapt attention, the BOZO show, during my early youth; my first make-up, with my first make-up kit {STEIN'S; CHRISTMAS Present, AD 1960} was a Clown, yet, I'd used MOM'S Lip-stick, at age 4, to "become" The Clown.
... LARRY HARMON, LIVE IN THE BLISS, OF DIVINE JOY & LAUGHTER, EVERNOW! AMEN!
EXANIMO EVERNOW,
TIMOTHY HERRON, B.G.G.
