www.cirquefascination.com: Bruce Rickerd, a former Montrealer who was born in Ottawa, broke the world record of most theatrical performances by a male musician on Saturday in Las Vegas.
It’s easy to miss Rickerd during Cirque du Soleil’s Mystère show at the Treasure Island casino, especially when there’s a man balancing upside-down on the foot of another, or a giant inflatable snail emerging from the massive moving stage or the gasp-inducing drops from acrobats above.
But he’s there — up high on the right or rather, stage left — playing guitar in just about the same place he’s been for every one of the 10,000 shows come Saturday in the 21-year history of Mystère as he and the rest of the band tie the music and sound effects to action on stage.
That’s right. He’s never missed a day of work.
