Biography
Early life
Grock was born in Loveresse, a village in the Bernese Jura in the Canton of Bern. He started early as a performer, learning musicianship and acrobatic skills from his father. When a caravan of Roma passed through, he joined them, learning more instruments and gaining confidence with them. In 1894, he debuted with Fiame Wetzel's traveling circus. He become a clown, working first with Brick in 1903, adopting the name "Grock", and then the famous clown Antonet (Umberto Guillaum). This second act was developed with the aim of making the transition from circus to music hall stages, which were more lucrative. While not initially successful, Antonet and Grock did manage to secure a London engagement in 1911. Refining their performances according to audience response, Grock came to dominate the act, and they eventually split up.

Hazey Jane II
And what will happen in the morning
When the world it gets
So crowded that you can't look
Out the window in the morning
And what will happen in the evening
In the forest with the weasel
With the teeth that bite so sharp
When you're not looking in the evening
And all the friends that you once knew are left behind
They kept you safe
And so secure amongst the books
And all the records of your lifetime
What will happen
In the morning
When the world it gets so crowded
That you can't look out the window in the morning
Hey, take a little while to grow your brother's hair
And now, take a little while to make your sister fair
And now that the family is part of a chain
Take off your eye shade, start over again
Now take a little while to find your way in here
Now take a little while to make your story clear
Now that you're lifting, your feet from the ground
Weigh up your anchor and never look round
Let's sing a song for Hazey Jane
She's back again in my mind
If songs were lines in a conversation
