RolandRoland is one of the first people to greet you as you part from the droves of people in the asphalt ocean of cars.He sells the programs for all three of today's shows.There is no shade, it is hot, and there isn't a cloud in the sky all day. Roland has been in this industry for a long time."Since '73," He says.He has charisma, is quick with jokes, and has the kind of voice you'd expect a program peddler who has been in the game forty-four years.Not all of the circus goers are pleasant when they realize it's "cash only" and the nearest ATM is on the other side of the parking lot they just migrated across, but it doesn't phase Roland.When asked what he'll do next, he shrugs. "There's always something else." Uniondale, NY.2017.
