Douglas "Jocko" Henderson was one of radio's first rhythm and blues disc jockeys.
He started in Baltimore in 1950, moved to Philadelphia and finally to New York, where
he hosted a "Soul Train"-like TV music and dance show that was called "Jocko's Rocket
Ship." One of Boot's original partners in the bar was a fan of the show and suggested
the name.
