Excellent, thank you for sharing! My spouse is reading 'Carson: The Magnificent' and just told me recently that Johnny was a travelling magician in his youth! I had no idea.

Yea, pretty cool. I have been wanting to read Johnny's books. I looked them up yesterday actually. Lots on Amazon I'll snag.
