This is a pretty recent shot of The Radio City Music Hall. But it looks just like it looked in the early 1960s when I went with my parents to The Big Apple for a weekend. We went to a broadway play, starring Ben Gazzara's wife, Janice Rule. The performance was at The Martin Beck Theater in mid-town Manhattan. I was 15. A small town kid who was lucky enough to have mill working parents who were infatuated with the neon lights, the Great White Way.

Yup. Looks just like it did this past December when we went to see the Christmas show staring the Rock ladies...

You might remember this, Cap'n. When I was a kid my parents and I saw the movie Parrish there. It starred Troy Donahue, and was filmed, partially in Suffield, CT. On a tobacco farm.
Mildred Savage, who wrote the book of the same name that the movie was based on, was a good friend who taught me a lot. She wrote for TV soaps in later life. She hated watching them and had me set up a VCR to tape them, and would spend the day on Saturday watching. Her job was to get the writers out of trouble when they painted themselves into a wall. She also wrote " A Great Fall",
She was one of a kind.

Thanks for that! I didn't know who wrote the book,,Parrish but I should have known.She sounds like a wonderful lady. That she was from Norwich is something I somehow missed. Shame on me. You were fortunate to have known here, my friend.
