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!

JOHN LEGEND Live (Adele's Rolling in the Deep) 8/9/11

This appeals to me, reminds me of the Bible Singers.

Dedicated To You - Sonny Knight

Can you see how the arrangement suits his voice?  Can you imagine Nat King Cole singing it this way...??  Maybe Natalie could have done it this way???

Ella Fitzgerald & Mills Brothers - Dedicated to you

Sounds like early Ella, in the style of the Mills Brothers...of course.

Nat King Cole - Love Letters

Here is the Master that made us dream back in the 50's...

Natalie Cole - Love Letters

what makes someone stand out.  Here is an example of story telling with effect, whether it is telling a story, or singing a song, the difference is making it personal...the way you present the story counts, and how the story matches your inner voice.

Nat King Cole song, Love Is The Thing, sung by Greg Peterson

Here is a fabulous Nat King Cole hit from his album of the same name.   If you have the album it is one to listen to over and over...maybe a perfect song for Michael Buble

Sammy Davis Jnr The Candy Man

this was one his best, in my book

Sammy Davis Jr. Boogie Woogie

This is Sammy dancing before his accident,  was seriously injured, losing an eye.

Sammy Davis Jr. - I'll Know (playlist)
