Long-time entertainer selling talent on calliope stage
Vic Hyde, a veteran entertainer claiming 65 instruments, says he is selling his talent and performs free shows at the All-Iowa Fair Mall area this week. He favors interactive acts and recalls a 20 year ago incident with gymnast Larry Griswold over a charity drawing. Hyde traces roots to vaudeville and Olsen and Johnson, noting big names no longer draw crowds.
