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!

Amazon.com: Peaceful Revolution: How We can Create the Future Needed for Humanity's Survival (9781935212768): Paul K. Chappell: Books

Amazon.com: Peaceful Revolution: How We can Create the Future Needed for Humanity's Survival (9781935212768): Paul K. Chappell: Books    I just read a few pages in the preview area at Amazon.  It interests me, because when I watch, LOCKUP, on Tv, I often think that criminals are not born, but shaped by neglect.  Exceptions to everything exist, however, we can save a lot of people from incarceration, and maybe from war, if we change the way we act, treat, and punish.  We have no clear path yet, but maybe there are answers in books like this.  If you too, are interested in what we can do to make a better world,  A Child Called ,"It", is one book that made me cry my eyes out, and wonder about changing what needs to be changed, even beginning with the birth parents.  See more below.

 The begining of Paul Chappell's book, Revolution made my chest and heart heavy as I empathized with him, I immediately thought of Dave Pelzer and his book,shown below.  Only people that have endured the pain, and risen above it, can truly reach our hearts and ask us to help make changes in the way we handle these problems .  Imagine the searing heart pain of a neglected and or abused child who learns to strike out at everyone, because the world is threatening....??  We have to start somewhere to solve these problems, it will not be easy, we are on the threshold of a new world that we could shape, if we started looking at the obvious problems, many of which we create ourselves .


A Child Called "It": One Child's Courage to Survive by Dave J. Pelzer (Sep 1, 1995)

Excerpt - Front Cover: "... COPIES SOW One Child's DAVE PELZER "A Child Called 'It' is a heart ..." See a random page in this book.

Toby Keith - American Soldier

Toby Keith, a hero who honors our troops.  Whether you like what is happening or not...we need to honor the men who risk life, limb and family, for a cause they believe in...who knows if we are right or wrong?  Honor and love is what they deserve.

The Casinos - Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

This is  a real love song from THE ERA OF MUSIC...when teens blasted onto the landscape with cars, records, drive in's  and more..

the duprees - you belong to me

Sonarman, says it like it was....on a warship, this often was the closest you got to home.  I had a brief encounter with that feeling when I was a young bride overseas.  We went to the enlisted mens club and the songs, the Americans around us, brought me back to the States in a brief flash....and I was so homesick for the moment!  Music makes miracles!

Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me (Original Remastered)

In the early 1950's we lived to this song.  Do you know what I mean, the music surrounded us, it was such a major hit.  When I write, I usually recall the songs that marked the time of my stories, they surrounded us.  We rushed to the record stores, we kept the portable radios with us at the beach, and we had the hit stations on our car radios.  Can you imagine life was wrapped in a song!

Teach Me Tonight - Jo Stafford

The song is great for her voice, Jo has a quality that seems her voice is reaching for the next lyric, longing for the next stanza, just super!

The grey day promises excitement as this song gets me ready....get creative today, make the flowers bloom

OS INDIOS TABAJARAS - Blue Moon

Just pretty music, the flowers that are hiding in the grey day look brighter when the music makes your soul feel light.

Walter Jackson I Won't Remember Ever Loving You

Can't stop listening to his voice, and this is a great song too!  Maybe he did not get enough play time, share time on YouTube?

Walter Jackson - Feelings

such a voice!  We missed him, back in the 70's.  What potential , and he never made it as big, as the many voices I hear within his voice.  It just goes to show you, promoter, arranger, they have to be magic with you.

Moonlight in Vermont by Walter Jackson

Oh, what a surprise, what a great voice, such potential...!!!  Imagine putting him with a super arranger!  A great promoter!

Walter Jackson Funny (Not Much)

this voice has great potential, have you heard of him?

Yesterday, I had a frustrating morning.  Everyone around me seemed to be in the same ditch.  So, when I got in the car to go to the gym, and this song came on....the lushness of it calmed me down, and by the time I got to the end, the stress was leaving, chased out by a beautiful combination of voice, melody, and the magic of Sirius in my car channel 71, Sinatra
