"Bud Mercer's book is a delight for everyone who has enjoyed stage shows, movies and television in the last seventy five years. He gives readers behind-the-scenes information as to how show business operates and shares unique vignettes of the stars that have provided us with so much entertainment through the years. Bud Mercer is a real trooper and his joy in performing
is contagious.”
-Frances Davidson, Producer,
Davidson Films, Inc.

"The Mercer Brothers personify show business…particularly the golden era that was known as Vaudeville. What Bud and Jim Mercer brought to Follies audiences for eleven seasons other than extraordinary entertainment - was nothing short of a history lesson. Sadly, their act may well be the last of its kind…we are all the richer for
having witnessed it.”
-Riff Markowitz, Impresario of the
Fabulous Palm Springs Follies
