HI PATSY,HOW ARE YOU TODAY?

joe we talked about the crash and explosion on the first blog. many pages back. i remember seeing robert f. kennedy riding along the 5th ave route back in the 60's while campaigining:) he was standing up in the motorcade waving as he passed.

WHO REMEMBER'S ST.ROCCO'S DRUM CORP

I'M GOOD, JOE T.G.I.F.

WHO REMEMBERS THE BOWLING ALLEY ON 4TH AVE (27TH & 28TH ST)

I DO. I ALSO REMEMBER GOING ROLLER SKATING THERE BACK IN THE 1960"S WITH MY FRIENDS FROM ST JOHN'S. THOSE WERE THE DAYS

Hi - taking a basement break. Almost done!


PINTO, my ex-husband was a drummer at St. Rocco's - guess he was your competion. :-'

I USE TO ROLLER SKATE WITH PAT NEGRI

JOE, THAT'S FUNNY. THAN WE MET AND BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS A FEW YERAS LATER ON 7 AVE AND 22ND ST> THOSE WERE GREAT TIMES WITH THAT CREW

THERE IS NO COMPETITION IN MUSIC....... IT'S A ART FORM.
AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO THINK!

HI FRANNY YOU DESERVE TO TAKE A BREAK. REST A LITTLE, HAVE A GLASS OF WINE

PATSY,STILL MORE GREAT TIMES AHEAD

YES JOEY I REMEMBER ALL THAT SHIT

THE WARTERFRONT EXPOSTION I WAS TAKING A BATH I WAS MAYBE
4-6 YEARS OLD THE WINDOWS BLOW OUT I ALSO REMEMBER THE MAN THAT RAN FOR A BLOCK WITH HIS HEAD HANGING OFF HE DIED

THE PLANE CRASH I WAS IN SCHOOL ST. JOHNS I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY I REMEMBER THINKING IT WAS GOING TO HIT THE CHURCH STEPPLE

AND YES I REMEMBER JOHNSON COMING TO BROOKLYN

HOW MANY OF US ARE ON OUR 2ND MARRIAGE

THE WATERFRONT MY FATHER IN LAW WAS WORKING 21 SHIP YARDS AT THE TIME HE TOLD ME ALOT ABOUT IT

WOW ANT,I'M IMPRESSED

NO DEAD BRAIN CELLS HERE JOEY

Can't drink yet.... Want to finish the basement; Frank is going to FLA next week and I hate being down there without him.


PINTO: Did you know Ed (Eddie Joe) Eskew. Was in St. Rock's D&B forever. He came from the Garden Apartments. He was a good drummer
(not as a profession).

I REMEMBER ALL THE GLASS IN THE STREET FROM ALL THOSE BROKEN WINDOWS

FRANNY

I REMEMBER EDDIE HIM AND BOSCO DO YOU REMEMBER HIM BOSCO

YES,I REMEMBER HIM, HE TAUGHT ME A LITTLE BIT AS A KID(10-11)
I THOUGHT HE WAS GOD.....UNTIL I SAW RINGO ON ED SULLIVAN SHOW.
