green eyes - Helen O'Connell
A song Dad loved to dance to . He would come right to Mom, take her hand and glide out on the floor. Bet your parents did too, those where the days of the big ballrooms. Many nice restaurants had dance floor too...remembering in "Enchanted," my newest book out in a few weeks.
Jimmy Dorsey Orch "Tangerine"
Bob Eberly, a long ago name, when we where listening in our home with Mom and Dad dancing in the dining room. Even the recording has the long ago sound. The Dorsey brothers ruled! Now you know why.
So Rare-Jimmy Dorsey-1957
this is one of my faves, as you know, but tonight is breath instruments in my mind, and I needed some cake and ice cream . I am full to the top with this wonderful Jimmy Dorsey arrangement.
Benny Goodman with the Paul Weston Orchestra 1957
it's like eating cake and ice cream, to hear this great horn, clarinet, the breath instruments....
Paul Weston - Blue Moon
tonight I feel like chasing the horn sounds, but the strings are lovely in this arrangment...
Jo Stafford - Taking a Chance On Love, 1958
Billy May arranged this and his style pops out...with the drag of the horn sound...
Jo Stafford & Frankie Laine - Pretty Eyed Baby (1951)
This was a song that helped us spin around like crazy with white bucks, ducktail hairdo and pegged pants, pegged skirts, and even poodle skirts....Do you remember this ?
Sarah Vaughan - A Garden In The Rain (1963)
Here you are a night of Jazz, from my mind to yours, on Saturday night.....great music from the past... 13 songs....Yes, I have to bring this back, my all time favorite, of Sarah Vaughn, great instrumental, wonderful melody, imaginative lyrics.
Was heaven planning this song for us earthlings...I love all the action in the background, piano, horns, and her voice!
Was heaven planning this song for us earthlings...I love all the action in the background, piano, horns, and her voice!
Ella Fitzgerald - Night and Day (w/ lyrics)
Talk about a spectacular arrangement, this has haunted me, for all my years. How can you beat this? Night and Day, is there anyone that does this better than Ella, now you know why she was one of the Divas of Jazz! Her voice was motherly, sexy, angelic, haunting, can I say more?
BLUE MOON - ELLA FITZGERALD - LYRICS
By now, you know that this simple melody captures me, by almost all artists, but I have my favorite, have you figured it out yet...?? Go back and look...
Ella Fitzgerald - Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Now com'on, you have to agree....this is spectacular...Louis comes on with his horn just right, and the voice of Ella, the timbre, then the roughness of Louis voice complementing her soft lush voice....just gorgeous....the skat, is in the right place....it bubbles down a waterfall of beauty.
Mama Cass Eliot - Dream a little dream of me
Blessed with a soft and angelic voice, she suffered for lack of love and overweight losing her life early. Sad. but, happy we can still enjoy her voice.
FRANKIE LAINE DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME
Wait a minute, ....just remembered this was my very favorite Frankie Laine, this is more my style, upbeat and with it....listen to the clarinet....it melts me... a singer is as good as the back up, or better because of great back up, and Rod Stewart has this too...
Frankie Laine - That's My Desire - 1957
This was my all time favorite Frankie Laine favorite. Do we all reach for the stars, then settle for the moon?
Do not forsake me, My Darling. (High Noon)
Frankie Laine, introduces the movie,
High Noon" one of the greats of the past
High Noon" one of the greats of the past
Frankie Laine Moonlight Gambler 1956
The night time drops its cape over the yard, burying it deep in darkness, so I look for the songs of the old moonlight nights of long ago. This was a great hit for Frankie Laine
Anita O'Day, A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square.wmv
Jazz lovers, you have to love this, one of the best jazz songs of the era....and Anita can't be beat in singing it....
Anita O'Day, I Can't Get Started With You.wmv
Her voice just gets to me. I love this by Bunny Berrigan, but Anita is the voice...wowee!

Anarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It is time to think about this. It is a dangerous time, our country is more at risk than ever. Anarchy is easy to fall into! When I was young I was hit by the experience of the Germans at the end of World War 1. This famous author , whom I adored, taught me in this book how terrible it is when a government collapses.It could happen. Every action has a re- action, so don't count on it always being the reaction you expect. The Black Swan is always lurking.
Lets talk about change through a referendum, isn't it a better way to handle the loss of faith in our government.

Blood and Sand (1941) Tyrone power& Linda Darnell- Death
A favorite film from my childhood, just before the war, plunged the world into darkness.
Horowitz, Chopin Polonaise op. 53 in A flat major
The great Valdimir Horowitz, playing Chopin (Til the End of Time)...great music knows no barriers
"Till the End of Time" Perry Como
here is Frederic Chopin, as interpreted by Perry Como, great music knows no barriers
Frédéric Chopin - Nocturne 20 in C Minor Sharp
I decided to stick around because I got interested in great music, that came from the masters of old, wonderful haunting meloday.
The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra -- The Song of India.wmv
Listen to the original version and then Tommy Dorsey, great music, no matter how it is presented.
Ivan Kozlovski "Song of the Indian guest" from Sadko
Great music, touches the soul, Tommy Dorsey made this into an American classic. Yet listening to this, you can imagine yourself in India on the banks of the river, on a misty early evening.
Midnight Cowboy-Everybody is talking at me(Full Song)
have a little fun with, Midnight Cowboy, the great Glen Campbell, and memories of long ago. Maybe this will get me going...
Pearl Bailey -- Big Spender
A big song from the past, with Pearl Bailey. Pearl married Louis Belson, one of the great drummers of the big band period.
Caravan - Buddy Rich (Drums) with Harry James & his Orchestra
be you haven't heard anything like this for a long time, Buddy Rich and Harry James, a sound long gone with the past.
Walter Hammel Plays Harry James Hit "I Can't Get Started" On The Lowrey...
Incredible organ bringing back the sounds of the big bands
Erroll Garner - The Way You Look Tonight
A musician that could not read music, it came out of him in torrents of song, in a distinct and unique way.
James Torme "Rock With You"
it reminds me of Michael jackson, a nice tribute to him, and a good song for James Torme
Sugarland - All I Want To Do
Sugarland is appearing at Foxwoods, this weekend, I believe. Foxwoods feature lots of Country Music, the likes of Keith Urban, etc. Only about an hour from the Boston area, easy to get to, not urban and crowded. Heard this on Imus , this morning so, thought I would pass it along.

Uncle Sam Wants you
When December 7,1941 hit us hard with the attack on Pearl Harbor,Hawaii, signs like this began to appear. This sign was outside the Hollis Theater on Hollis Street, Framingham, posted on the left hand side. I wondered if they wanted us "kids" too. Many of us where just barely in first grade when the horrors of war appeared on movie " shorts " in the theaters, as the country mobilized for war. My book , Enchanted, will bring you more on our small town and the war. Enchanted, should be published in November , 2011.

News from Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance
News from Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance thought you might enjoy this cartoon
the movie - song of bernadette - jennifer jones - 1940 14
I probably saw this movie when I was 7 years old, maybe 8 at the Saturday kids matinee...after its first run, we use to pay about 5 cents or 10 cents to go to the movies...and I was very impressed with the subject
Beyond The Battlefield: Lack Of Long-Term Care Can Lead To Tragic Ends For Wounded Veterans
Beyond The Battlefield: Lack Of Long-Term Care Can Lead To Tragic Ends For Wounded Veterans THIS WILL MAKE YOU CRY!
Our support system is down the drain. We give out money and food and apartments but there is no support system in our way of doing things, of helping the people who need help. I hope someone agrees with me that we need to change not only the help for wounded vets, but welfare. Once again, read, "A Boy Called It", by David Pelzer, I cried for days that this child could be so unloved , so wounded. Yet against all odds he survived to become a man , an author, a husband.
We owe it to ourselves to come up with a kinder gentler way of distributing our gifts, so they truly are gifts to the less fortunate, gifts of love , nurturning and caring.
Some people are better off living in suportive housing, like this wounded vet, who might be alive today if we had such a thing as supportive housing. Children in the welfare system have to come first, and they are not coming first. Families in trouble need to move into supportive housing first to stablize the family. Supportive housing can easily be afforded and will help the people that really need help. Newly single mothers with children need supportive housing. Drug addicts and alcoholics need supportive housing, so do elderly people, who can not clean and cook for themselves etc. There is a big need , and at the same time we can clean up old areas of the cities that need to be improved.
What hurts more, to lose your wallet, your job, your business, or to lose a loved one. Love is what counts and we give in a system that requires no love on our part. Giving has to become a labor or love for the needy, not a check, food stamps and a place to live, hope you will get on board with me and try to get the message out.
Want to create jobs, take run down factories, and change them into supportive housing facilities, where there are all kinds of support systems for single mothers, wounded vets, the aged, etc. with on site doctor, dentist, childcare, cafeteria, after school care etc..everyone that is able boided contributes to the "village" that we create for supportive housing. It would be too much to continue here, but you get the gist of it. We owe loving care.
The government skews the housing market in the way it sets up housing systems for the poor, there is a better and more sensible way. The goverment, makes it impossible to change the decaying cities, because of it's interference in the market .. So, hopefully, someone will listen, contribute and pass along a new way to create help with love and nurturing.
