Jim Croce song, “Roller Derby Queen”

“She was five foot six, two fifteen,
a bleach blonde bomber with a streak of mean.”

I hope they do bring it back. If only so the radio plays this song again.

ROLLER BOOGIE!

Remember “Charlie O” an old roller derby superstar?

which reminds me I've got to try and find my father's as a memento; he joined Dick Lane in the celestial coffee klatch just over two months ago, and the mug would make a nice keepsake.

Update from 2007 -- not only did I find Pop's mug, I found his "backup"....so Sis and I both have another treasured memento!
