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!

This morning, as I read the Wall Street Journal, I was reminded of one of my favorite artists.
The subject painting was, "The Calling". Luke a money changer was called by Christ and Peter to a new life .
The shadows and light, the clothing of Peter and Christ, contrasting to the clothing of Luke and his companions,
all foreshadow, the reality of life, new, old, light , dark. Our eyes roam the painting seeing some faces in light, some in shadow.
This is what music also does, it soars and drops, it races and slows, it layers, and unlayers, it contrasts, and overlays.
All our endeavors match life as we know it. 
Caraveggio, was a guy that got in a lot of trouble, so if you decide to view the movie, see it first without the "kids" .
