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!

Daryls House

This is a great program that is on TV, on my Comcast in Florida it is channel 411, you may have to search for it on other venues.

The great drummers of the past, revive for a moment in time.

Everyone forgets that Mel Torme was a skilled drummer, he sticks with most of us as the Velvet Fog, for his gorgeous voice, but remember he was also a talented drummer.  Here are the great drummers of the time, all together, a look at the past.
