Talk:Tony Sarg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OK, look: the first thing i gotta say about him is the least important, let's get it out of the way:
- His "google test" is a wretched "106 of about 187".
But he died over sixty years ago; your mother probably never heard of him, and how many Web pages has she created, in case it happens she does remember who he was?
Bil Baird worked for him 5 years before going out on his own; he did the first balloons for the Macy's Day Parade; his cumulative audience at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair was 3 million; he's got a 1988 small-press bio (but spiral bound, i'm afraid, out of print, and about 2/3 of that is appendices). (And he's in the NYT crossword for yesterday (Saturday).) But there is no mention of even his last name in the article space.
If no one with an interest in puppets expands my stub, maybe i will. Here's enough to base the stub on, and then some:

Caution: the Madison Square Garden mentioned in the ext ref above is one of the first two, not either of the more recent uptown ones. --Jerzy (t) 05:56, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)
