The Rossi Family #2



Jimmy and I became big buddies on the Kelly-Miller Show in our foolish youth.
His father Joe was a first rate Musician and Band Director with Dailey Bros., Mills Bros. and Biller Bros. Circuses.
After his parents divorced Jimmy tried to spend as much time with him as he could.
One of his favorite stories was about the time he was visiting  Biller Bros. and while chatting with his girlfriend Pearl the door suddenly opened and Joe stormed in yelling..... Pearla! Perla! pack-a the suitcase.....the band she's a-blow!
I guess the show wasn't going for that Union Scale.
Another touching story concerned his funeral when Jimmy, now a pilot, placed a small metal air plane under his lapel positioned like a cross.
