(IA, KS, MO, ND, NE, OK, AR, SD) "So...you
wanna be a clown?" I've heard Master Clown "Frosty" Glen Little sing that little
song on more than one occasion. So, I never would have dreamed that it would be
possible - me? - A clown?I first became interested in clowning when I met Ed Birchell (Ho-Ho the Clown) of Oklahoma City back in 1982. The memories of watching this statewide celebrity took me back to my own childhood. It was a pivotal moment in my life that would lead me to discover this so-called "passion" we call clowning. So - ten years later, after attending a two-week course on clowning offered at Central Presbyterian Church in Shawnee, Oklahoma - my journey began. I joined several local alleys in Oklahoma City, learning as much as I possibly could. Then, in 1999, I was introduced to Pricilla Mooseburger, aka Tricia - Bothun, Glen "Frosty" Little, Dave Mitchell, Cheri Venturi and Rex Nolen. My life, as they say, has never been the same. The technical skills that I learned through each of them took me to a new, higher level and it also taught me that as long as you are coach-able - you can be teachable - and the sky's the limit! Some of my "best" experiences have been: Mooseburger Camp in Minnesota for 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 where I've met & studied with Joe Barney, Karen Bell, Mark Renfro - just to name a few! www.mooseburqer.com Featured in Guthrie Jazz Banjo Festival Documentary "Zing - went the string's of my heart" by Amy Finkle in 2002. www.strinqsofmvheart.com Competing at COAl conventions for 2002, 2003, 2004 & placing in the top 10 in all competition categories. www.clownsofamerica.org Great Clown Adventure in Las Vegas - 2003, 2005, 2006. www.qreatclownadventure.com A Healthy Humor Clown Unit member, Norman, Oklahoma, since 2002.
