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!

"If It's The Last Thing I Do" Frank Sinatra

Never remember this being a major hit, but there is a voice out there that this song is perfect for ...don't you think it could be a big hit?

It's A Sin To Tell A Lie - The Ink Spots

Just think about this, when this was popular, a whole different world surrounded us.  Mothers and Dad's long gone, old cars were common place, because then, they were new!  Just meditate on this.

IT'S A SHAME/SPINNERS

Remember this one...think it could make it again in this day and age?

"Who's That Lady" - Peter White Live - Kettle Moraine Jazz Fest 2011

this  will make you smile especially  if you know and or remember the song.  "Who's That Lady".

Frank Sinatra. The house i live in - Live


This was Frank's tribute to our country!

Dinah Washington call me Irresponsible

This arrangement is in focus with the singer as the main interest, she the centerpiece , just something to think about as you plan your songs and career...there is so much to learn.  No big intro, no big back up needed here!

Madeleine Peyroux - Between The Bars

This makes me think of Eminem, and a crazy idea.....how about a mash up with the two of them?

Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me

Arrangement makes a song, introduction, pitch, voice, they all come together here and that is why this was the biggest hit for this number and this voice.  For example, the introduction to this song, draws you in.....now go back to Peggy Lee and the introduction to Lover!  Wow!  Need I say more?

"You Belong to Me" Joni James

Listen to Joni James, if you have a voice like that, compare her other songs to this one, the pitch is better here, it gives more depth to her small young girl voice.....this makes this song one of my favorites by Joni James...

The Tokens - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

In the spirit of play today, this was one of the final songs in my fun years before I joined the serious world of adults.  Boy, I should have listened to the lyrics, I certainly woke that lion from his sleep!

The Chordettes - Lollipop

Now for a lollipop and an invitation to my 7.5 year old granddaughter to come visit me and play with her leap pad learning vowels.

Sugar Sugar - The Archies

Take a break from adult life, with this sweetness
