Some bozo always gets the girl. Jim spends 300 days a year on the road with the circus. Cheap hotels, bad meals, long drives. The pay is lousy, but there are times when just seeing the expression on some kid’s face makes it all worthwhile.

Salero by Orquesta “Siboney” on the Kubaney label. I love the little cartoon illustrations!

“La Mafafa” by Trios de Cuba on the Maype label.

Another of the “High In-Fidelity” greeting card series of mock record covers. This one comically lists suggested song titles including: “Cocktails for Two”, “There’s a Tavern in the Town”, “Belly up to the Bar Boys”. This was sold for $1 in 1963.
