Janice & Bud, thank you! American Experience - circuses looks interesting. I watched 1st part, Barnum was quite an original guy smile

FJ, thank you for support! Still have a long way to go to "get it covered". I have a friend, he told me that he heard a real circus band performing Beatles songs. That would probably be an interesting audition.

Robert, thank you! You guessed it correctly. I wanted more FX. I did not want to take sounds from the web for (c) reasons, so I dug out some original CDs with sound FX that I bought 20+ years ago. Unfortunately 3 out of 4 did not work, but on the one that did, I got lucky and found roars smile

Loren, Thank you! Believe it or not, yours is probably the most advanced feedback on my tune ever. I enjoyed reading it. I do share your view that many of large species should not be caged and tortured. There are however some exceptions of true bond between humans and wild cats. There are recent attempts to make some zoos more humane, a step toward transforming them into sanctuaries. A few years back I read a book by Sara Gruen "Water for the Elephants", which shows a very intimate and dark side of circus life. Loren, far not all circuses are that dramatic. Some shows do not even have any kind of animals and mostly based on human talent.
Some feature dogs, which I am very positive do not sleep in cages and actually enjoy being stars smile

P.S. Couple of weeks ago, I saw a bobcat up close where I live. This is a very rare event for my area. That was in part inspiration for this tune.
