OMG, we’re going to absolutely O.D. on a major dose of Rocket!
More later after we’ve digested every tidbit. Gotta get me one of them Summery Fedora’s.
Personally, I think she has a real future in the drum section. She obviously knows what o do particularly when Daddy tries to show her. She grabs the stick and shows him. She obviously has a mind of her own. Hmmmm wonder where that comes from????
