Idols

We all have 'idols' - not the kind you see on these 'reality competition idol' shows - I mean people you could look up to - emulate and inspire you. The three people that did that for me growing up were Percy Abbott, Neil Foster & Edgar Bergen.

Edgar & Percy were good friends and several summers back in the 1950's Edgar spent part of his summers here in Colon. They both were showmen - they had a real passion for what they did. Percy's 'magic' was in his personality and Edgar's 'magic' came in the form of three wooden puppets that were imbued with life by their master. They are legends - they have set the bar for both magicians and ventriloquists. The Abbott family shared this special video with me  - two men and Gladys Abbott having a ball in their back yard here in the magic capital of the world. Enjoy. . . . .
