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!

Roy Orbison - Crying with k.d. lang

What do you think of this!

Tony Bennett With K.D.Lang ( featuring Chris Botti) Because Of You

The voice of K.D. Lang, soft as velvet, the voice of Tony....another dimension of velvet, and Chris Botti providing the counterpoint.

Tony Bennett & Faith Hill - The Way You Look Tonight

Faith Hill is strong and sure, in one of my favorite songs....and Tony still has it ...

Tony Bennett - What a Difference a Day Makes

Dinah Washington owns this song, in my book.  But, listen to the way the voice is paced here...a master of phrasing, emotion.  What do you think?

Dick Haymes - What A Difference A Day Made

lets have a run off with Dick and Tony....listen to this, Tony is coming next...

Count Every Star - Dick Haymes- Artie Shaw Orch - 1950

A fairly big hit, well liked song...magic clarinet of my favorite, Artie Shaw and the great voice of Dick Haymes

Michael Bublé~Winter Wonderland

A new album for the season

You've Changed - Harry James & Dick Haymes [1941]

When the trumpet was king of the orchestra, a different sound than Louis Armstrong...something to think about.  Dick Haymes had a great voice.

Gregorian - My Immortal

All kinds of music hold clues for us as we design and put together our own music of our soul.  Gregorians, masters of the chant.

BOLERO-RAVEL

This is probably one of the most well known.  It is haunting.

Heinrich Schiff, Dmitri Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat majo...

Just listening to this you can relate to a cartoon film of the past that featured classical music, your brain was trained....you can see deer running through the forest in a Bambi film in your mind...or you can see the wolf sneaking up on unsuspecting prey!

Symphony Hall Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra

This is wonderful, and it shows that there is hope for a future symphony orchestra

What's Opera, Doc?

I am going to get these classical music cartoons for Karenrose.  I think they are a great learning tool.

Bugs Bunny - Rabbit of Seville

In the long ago, we learned classical music this way...what do you think, good idea?
