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!

Count Every Star...Dick Haymes and Artie Shaw

Dick Haymes did not get the attention he should have received.  He married Rita Hayworth, which was an attention getter, but he did not qualify for the draft, and people wondered why...he was never a United States citizen, so he was not eligible for the draft.... the rumors really hurt him.
