music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

So Rare-Jimmy Dorsey-1957

This could have been me, in 1957, except that my baby was 2, and was soon to face a life time of trying to survive a Wilm's tumor, we fought a valiant battle.  She made it to her late 40's, we stuck together through thick and thin.

 The pictures here are really good, in giving you an idea of what it was like in 1957.  We thought it was great then, we had no idea of what was coming.  As I read about physics, I see that we have to keep going forward and making new discoveries, improving life, because it is part of our journey, as stated  by Frank J. Tipler, in ,"The Physics of Christianity,"  it makes sense, he uses the example of the computer improving on an average of every 18 months, and think about the cell phones improving at that rate!
"So Rare", is one of my all time favorite songs, Jimmy Dorsey is someone worth collecting, I think his records will be hard to find in the future.  He had other great hits, take a peek at this album. For those of us who grew up in the 50's, it was ...so rare!
