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!

James Torme "Rock With You"

I want to see James Torme make it.  When you have a father who is fabulous to follow, you have to find your own place, and this is a beginning.  I think you need to  keep trying different sounds, you are getting there.  Notice in this version the voice is similar to Michael Jackson, not because it is Michaels song, but the timbre and the pitch are similar....try more songs that lend themselves to that sound, or try something  like   Unforgettable ...with Natalie and Nat King Cole....or try Etta James, At Last,   try singing with Tony Bennett...  I happen to like KD. Lang best when she sings with Tony Bennett...try Blue Moon with them.  Love to see you become as big as Mel Torme.  Rooting for you.  Hope you don't mind my crazy ideas!
