This is the ONE and ONLY Billy Barton ..
Prince Najvez – aka Billy Barton. He used this name in the last few years he performed on the trapeze. He used a Peruvian, or Incan, theme for the production, and Prince Najvez fit that better. That is probably Bobby Davis down below, who managed the web for Billy. Bobby was a small guy but he really swung that web with a vengeance. I used to love to watch him go flying through the air when Billy reached the height he wanted and released the web. We worked several different dates with them, but on one date, in yandotte, Michigan we immediately followed him. His fireworks were spectacular, but created a problem for us because the ash residue settled on the table Don worked on and made it very slippery.
Might be BILLY BARTON, he was always big on flash..His ground man was BOBBY DAVIS and he DID have similar wardrobe to that in photo
