IN MY ROOM

page 2

 

Just to the left of my monitor screen is the Dana Estate. Moss Lots in two views. What A Place!

A dear friend presented me with the mint green '51 Mercury Monterey a few weeks back. It actually rolled backwards and went over the cliff ala James Dean in Rebel Without A Clue, but was ok thanks to a sturdy bumper and a padded carpet. Got to fix that darn emergency brake!

 

MUSIC ROW & JUSTUS ROE

not exactly but this is Nashville and I have been know to write a song or two and hum & strum a bit. Music Row is the area in Nashville where the music biz is. Part of the biz is getting awards from The CMA, ASCAP, BMI, TRADE MAGS etc. The other part is trying to get checks from them. On the wall is a photo of 1935 Mills Empress Juke Box. I would love to have the real thing.

BUT IS THERE ANY JUSTICE YOU ASK?

Well in my room there is ..... in Justus Roe see......, Justus was a surveyor from Patchogue, NY ( he surveyed Doctors Point in Mastic Beach in 1925 ) who also made steel tape measures. My grandpa Walter Joseph was one of Roe's machinists and that black round item next to the snowglobe is a 25 footer Gramps made in the early 1950's

And of the '50's ... How About 1955?

That's a 1955 Crown Victoria parked in front of the Original Boys Of Summer.
