This morning on THE TODAY SHOW they had a brief recognition
of NBC RADIO CITY’s ROCKETTS. Being stationed
near NYC I have seen THE ROCKETTS and on Anna’s and my visit to the city I have
seen them more than a few times. Beside
their shapely legs they are also experts at synchrony dancing. Impressive!
But like us all, Rockett dancers grow old and have to find something
else other than high kicking dancing.
Which reminds me of my Navy time in New Jersey back in the 1960s
I knew of an elderly ex-Rockett. That was her claim to fame. She often
attended an Irish Bar, I think the same of it was Murphy’s. Also, Murphy’s had another interesting person
as an interesting character:f Barney the
Paper Boy. He was old and very
Irish. He loved to sing old Irish songs
and cry.
Barney he Paper Boy an the retired Rockett were very interesting
characters and probably their presence drew in customers.
