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!

My Heart Stood Still , Rod Stewart

 The Dick Haymes version is probably lost forever...I hope not, he sang it with the great Artie Shaw...so I chose my favorite Rod Stewart....I love Rod Stewart, and his revival of the old beautiful music of our parents and grandparents.  A time when the world was different, the culture was different!   All the immigrants around my home in the then little town of Framingham, Mass. where striving to be part of the American dream.  Oh , how heartbroken I was to learn that Italy, the country that gave birth to my family was at war with the United States!
