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!

Billy Ocean - When the Going Gets Tough

A song that conveys the spirit of our country, I once believed in as a child. I love this song, it is uplifting and helps to get you going!

When I played  this , this morning, all of a sudden memories flooded me, I remembered my uncles being drafted at the onset of the Second World War, and I cried, just as Meggie did in my book, Secrets of the Heart, when the war came. One thing we had then, we were united in spirit, we knew we were fighting for something worthwhile. Our hearts were in our throats, as our men went to war, but, what a country we lived in then, everyone pitched in, personal, and group sacrifice. War clouds hung over us, but when the going got tough, the tough got going.!
