I got here, casting about for recordings of the Bob Trendler Big Top Band from the WGN TV Bozo's Circus, with Bob Bell, Ned Locke, Ray Rayner and others.
Could not find Greatest Show on Earth by Trendler (WGN holds everything tight) but then I found South Shore Circus Band's version. EXACT. Must be the same arrangement, but Trendler was a 13 piece band. This seems larger.
Well, this is the best circus band by far (apologies to Bob Trendler et al.), and I am glad they are preserving this music.

This video brings back many happy memories of the days when live bands played under the big top at every performance.
