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!

Woody Guthrie- This Land Is Your Land

this is what Woody Guthrie wrote, to give us another song of pride in our land. 

Kate Smith introduces God Bless America

The song that swept the country during the second world war. It was such a popular song that Woody Guthrie wrote a song to combat it, he was so sick of hearing it.   From my new book, out in about two months," Enchantment" , how and why my generation became some of the greatest patriots ....we had the tears in our hearts and souls for the boys who went to war, and can never forget that time.

Zulu Dawn (1979) - Part 1.wmv


here is another film from the past.....great for gifts these old movies and terrific books, both guys and gals will enjoy...so put them on your list...when you don't know what to get.
Wow, no wonder the trio of books sold like wild fire....this guy writes a very intricate plot, that convolutes and straightens and twists and turns again.  Great writer that will glue you to your chair, and you might even start skimming to find out quickly what is going to happen next....

Vacationing for about 10 days

Took a trip along the St Lawrence Seaway, it was a nice trip, not alot of traffic, beautiful scenery, especially when we got down to Rt 20 alternate and headed west through farm country to Derby, New York.  I started reading again, finally, writing is taking up so much time, that my reading had slackened off,  I finished Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert easy reading, and now The Girl Who Played with Fire  by Stieg Larsson, (complicated by unfamiliar names), but a plot that is so intricate you can't wait to turn the page and find out what the 'heck' is going on.  Love it and looking forward to finishing it this week. 

 Then, I will publish my second book called, Enchanted,   A memoire of growing up in the 1940's and 1950's .  How in the world did our parents keep us in a state of childhood enchantment while a war raged around us for 4 plus years til most of the world was on fire!  I am scared and excited, because I think, who am I to write ?  But on the other hand why not, I have a story to tell, and maybe some of you will like my story telling.
