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!

Charlie "Bird" Parker - I Can't Get Started

the first time I heard this song, I was probably 16 years old, and it burned into my song memory for life. Bunny Berrigan played it, and his version is always the best to me, but this is a great version. Ella sang it too!

Anita O'Day - I Can't Get Started With You

Listen to this velvet voice, she is just wonderful.....

Bunny Berigan -I Can't Get Started With You-1937

Listen to this oldie, it's horn, its rhythm,
its melody ....
