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!

Churchill: The Power of Words

During the Second World War, there was one man who stood out, to all of us, whether British, or American...he spoke our language and he spoke it eloquently!  John Kennedy  was to have said.  "He mobilized the English language and sent it into battle."

Churchill says that school was boring, because he wanted to learn not syntax for example but he wanted to jump into the meat of things.  When we learn to speak our native language, we learn from example, and master the language slowly with use and exposure to words, to reading and excitement about the world.  A master teaches through his words and his observations.  I ordered it on my Kindle today.
