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!

The Four Aces - Tell Me Why (1951)

The seniors ruled the high school when this song came out....and we juniors stood by in awe of them.  In those days we were in what is now a museum next to the police station downtown Framingham.  Our girls room was in the basement and music was piped into the room.  This record and its flip side , Garden in the Rain, where played and I never forgot that scene as the music froze it in my mind forever.

I donated some copies of my book, Small Town America, Framingham, to Framingham History Center so if you go carolling on Sunday on the common at Framingham Center, you will be able to buy a copy.  All proceeds from the sale go to the Framingham History Center.
