Wartime in New York City

Our ship was just back from England and we had a few days to spend at the Brooklyn Naval Yards, One night I and 2 other Sailors went to Times Square and went up to the top floor of a hotel where there was dining and dancing, we listened to the House Band while they were rehearsing, it was Sammy Kay, when it was time to start the festivities, the bouncers were going to kick us out. Sammy saw what was happening and came down and had the waiters take us to a front table, we stayed there all evening, he bought us a meal and his gal singer came down and danced with us. Talk about support for the troops. This was fall of 1944
