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!

Ella Fitzgerald "Shiny Stockings"

So Rare, by Ella is not on You Tube, so I thought I would give you one of my fave jazz numbers by Basie and Ella....wow! I have to find the name of the album that contains the song....,maybe next week, when I change the music in the car. Don't forget to collect c/d's you will regret the loss of them in the future. Listen to this great sound, great scat, great dancing music! Imagine my grandson Kenny , got enveloped in Ella, driving around in my car, as a young boy. He loves this song.!!! Enjoy then get cooking ....

So Rare Jimmy Dorsey

I met Ella Fitzgerald singing this in my car this morning on the way to exercise. It reminded me of the greatest version of the song by Jimmy Dorsey. I had to find it and give those of you who never heard it, a chance to live to music that brightens your day and gets you going. I will post Ella too, because her version is lush, but Jimmy Dorsey,,,,ahhh! the best! Have a great day!
