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!

The Guitar Gods - Jeff Beck: "Apache" / "Sleepwalk"

with Les Paul...came the popularity of the guitar, that still is probably the most favored instrument to this day.....I remember the day I heard..."How High the Moon." We were at the Wellworth in downtown Framingham, and it blew me away.... We all went to the moon with the new sound...and Les Paul went down in history!

And now Les Paul and Mary Ford as it sounded, when we first heard it.....it Wowed us! Listen to the Grapelli touch
