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!

Earl Bostic - Flamingo

my favorite Earl Bostic song, love the dragging of the notes....the melody, the style, it is wonderful sound

Louis Prima - Night Train

ha ha, it is great to listen to them side by side, do you think Louis channeled Earl Bostic's sax with his voice?

NIGHT TRAIN (original 1952 blues Hit)

Earl Bostic one of his big hits, we loved it...

Earl Bostic - On Green Dolphin Street

another great jazz song, which I did not know he performed, wonderful sax playing..

Mom arrives with cake

Does this make up for saying something that could be considered political?

CARMEN MIRANDA - TICO TICO

Oh, time for something light and fanciful

Obama's Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Connection-Truth!

Obama's Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Connection-Truth! Many people are shouting , angry at Wall Street, but the problem goes deeper than Wall Street.
Some may know that the banks where threatened that they had to take loans on sub prime mortages and if you know bank lawyers and members of the bank boards, they will confirm, that they where forced to take sub prime mortages, nothing down, etc....read the article here.

Additionally, if you as an individual where forced to take loans you did not want, you would do what the banks did, you would try to get them off your books, so they called Wall Street.


Wall Street is getting the blame, but the action that started the ball rolling that destroyed the world's financial system, is what we should focus on. The reason is obvious, it should never be allowed to happen again.

Read the article and form your own opinion about who is trying to cover up the real reasons for the world financial collapse. What would you do, if you collapsed the world's financial system?

Form your own opinion, but be educated on your facts.

The Way You Look Tonight - Ella Fitzgerald

Ella, very romantic

Billie Holiday - The Way You Look Tonight

lets compare this to Ella's version

Billie Holiday - Stormy Weather

Shades of Amy Winehouse...right?

78s - Ella Fitzgerald - Sentimental Journey

Listen to this old recording by Ella,
do you agree with me that Doris could have been a great jazz singer if she had let herself, follow Ella. Just as Amy Winehouse, went into channeling the great songstresses, so Doris could have done it....and probably had an even bigger career...

Doris Day A Sentimental Journey

Doris Day, was categorized as a romantic singer in my estimation. She never did any daring things with her voice, which I think she could have done, she has the timbre of Chris Connor and some of the jazz singers, but never really tried to get in that category.

Psychology weighs in on the BC/AD – BCE/CE debate

Psychology weighs in on the BC/AD – BCE/CE debate
This is an annoying change, in my estimation, and unnecessary, even if you are a non believer,
because it is just a place holder, period. We could have had BB ( before Buddah ), but it became in history and accepted as BC and AD

Why is this change necessary? Even if we all became non believers, it is still a place holder, whatever we call it....
Should we all change all over the world to the decimal system? Is it imperative?

My point is, why make the world more complicated? Is it truly important to the understanding of history?
