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!

"And the Angels Sing" Benny Goodman and his Orchestra

the times....war was looming in Europe, the folks who were part of the great immigration of the 1900's had entered the 2nd generation in the United States.  Life held promise as all races, and ethnic origins blended in the world of our culture, as expressed in the fabulous music of the 1930's which continued to blossom into the 1940's and early 1950's.  Then we went through the 2nd World War....with another blending of enthnicty and culture, that gave us heroes in all walks of life.



and this....is perhaps the best arrangement of the song of all time
