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!

    NATICK - The delicate watercolor of the farmer's market at St. Peter's Church in Munich was painted with deft brushstrokes by the same hand that unleashed the Final Solution.
    Completed by an aspiring German artist named Adolf Hitler after his military service, the painting is one of the centerpieces of a small but powerful exhibition at the Museum of World War II in Natick that evokes Nazi attitudes toward art.
    Organized by museum founder and director, Kenneth W. Rendell, "The Failed Artist, Degenerate Art and the Monument Men'' showcases nearly 20 rare artifacts mostly connected to Hitler and his inner circle. The artifacts reveal the Nazi obsession with visual art in their heroic self-image and their attempts to stamp out the "degenerate'' art that had been sweeping Europe between the wars.
    Visitors will see the contents of Hitler's art studio in Munich, including dried paints, brushes, drafting tools, sketchbooks and several watercolors that echo political theorist Hannah Arendt's description of the "banality of evil.''
    In his will, Hitler left the studio's contents to his longtime housekeeper, Anny Brunner-Winter, who recovered them after a legal battle with the Bavarian government that confiscated them. The studio's contents were acquired "intact'' by Rendell for his museum.
    He also acquired the watercolor of the farmer's market directly from the widow of Rudolph Hess, Germany's deputy fuhrer who spent 46 years in prison after being convicted of crimes against peace.
    Introducing the show, Gary W. Gresh, director of corporate and foundation relations, said, "Hitler's watercolor set usually generates an unusual feeling from our visitors when they see something so ordinary that belonged to someone who personified evil.''
    Using a few intimate artifacts, the exhibit creates jarring juxtapositions between the heroic sculptures and classical Greek and Roman art Nazi elites admired, and the ruthless malignity of the German war effort.
    Viewed within the context of the entire museum which displays 7,000 artifacts, including weapons, field equipment, uniforms and propaganda posters, documents and a Sherman tank, the exhibit provides a small but chilling look into the psyche of Hitler and his top leaders such as Hermann Goering who purported to admire classical art while masterminding a war and systematic genocide of European Jews that ultimately cost 60 million and six million lives, respectively.
    "Masterpieces make me feel alive,'' said Goering, Hitler's top lieutenant, according to the exhibit's wall text.
    Visitors will see Goering's signed personal copy of images of Leonardo da Vinci's greatest works, bound in white vellum.
    Several other objects express Hitler's loathing of "degenerate'' or abstract art that was seen as subverting the Nazi ideal of Aryan racial supremacy or German war efforts.

Joni James - Too Young (With Lyrics)

Just a reminder if you have a teen...

let him or her know, you were there once, with a recording of this song...!  It might not help, but, what have you got to lose to try?  A song from the past, that fits the future...

"You'll Never Know" (Vera Lynn, 1943)

The sound of the 1940's is so evident in this sound of what I heard on the radio in the 1940's! ...Imagine the radio ...first a small table model and then a floor model, our only vocal contact with the outside world, except for the telephone.  Did you know that in  the 1940's  we still used a means of communication known through the world,  maybe since the beginning of man?  That was sound.  The other day as I read about the Gauls, in a book called, The Middle Earth, I learned of their communication thru the sound of voices, ulating and yodeling, first the voice, and of  course we know of the drums,  then assistance to the voice, and then.assistance to the drums...which became .the  fire alarm.  The fire alarm was our community announcement of fire!  It was also an announcement of something important for us to know immediately such as the announcement of an  air raid,  and finally...and most beautifully  the end of the war!  History is truly interesting.

"South Of The Border" Frank Sinatra

This morning, I heard Robert Wagner as a host on Siriously Sinatra, what a nice surprise!  It brought back memories of when we all were young, the movies, the stars, and the songs of the time, all part of growing up in a great time for the United States.  The war was over , never to ever happen again, our families were together again, and life became what little me thought was the way it should be.  We were first and second generation American's and we, in our family, were so proud to be here contributing to this wonderful land.
