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!

Steve Tyrell - The Way You Look Tonight
I can hear your Dad
singing this to your Mom today, Valentine's day...they were so in love, and always looked at each other with love. How lucky they were and so were you guys, to have such wonderful parents. A memory forever, for all of the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren who knew them. All of the first generation De Cenzo's loved music, I have it real bad in the second generation....and I see it in the grandchildren, like Theo, hope he makes it big. He is really trying...It is a sad day, cry a little with me as you listen to this. My donation will be going to Michael Carter Lisnow Center, Hopkinton, Mass., in Uncle Peter's name.
I'd be there crying with you, instead of alone....if I could... Love all of you, Madlyn

How Could You Do A Thing Like That To Me (Frank Sinatra - with Lyrics)
I enjoyed listening to Frank sing this song on Siriously Sinatra, this morning when I went for exercise at our gym. I can't believe I did not know of it....a nice little jazz song with good melody, great arrangement, I think....

Temperament: How Music Became a Battleground for the Great Minds of Western Civilization by Stuart Isacoff (Feb 4, 2003)
This review is from: Temperament: How Music Became a Battleground for the Great Minds of Western Civilization (Paperback)
Loved the history and felt as though the men through history were contemporaries, although they spanned the centuries with their questions on developing temperament. The book was a gold mine of interesting information on the links between science, music, art, and math (and the "string theory" of modern scientific thought). If I was still teaching school, it would be a core book for the development of my lessons in any of the subjects above, to bring alive my classes. I was excited to talk about it to my friends today.When I listen to music, I appreciate music that tells a story and paints a picture as when listening to "The Warsaw Concerto"[ASIN:B0000060DC Warsaw Concerto]] I also love music that is really special, as is the arrangement of La Mer, which accompanied the end of the movie in "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier,Spy".[ASIN:B0059XTTW8 Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy]] I am a lay person who sympathizes with the thoughts that Mr Isacoff expresses in,The Afterword, of this book. It is impossible to satisfy everyone. Is it really possible to reach what we think of as perfection, or is perfection different to each of us? Just as I suspect perception might be different to each of us.

The Technologists a novel
http://www.amazon.com/Technologists-bonus-short-Professors-Assassin/dp/081297803X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360012680&sr=1-1&keywords=the+technologists
A charming story with a good mystery, centered around the start of MIT. The first class enters into a mystery of someone, who is it... destroying Boston? Who did it, becomes very interesting, just when you think you know who, it switches to another culprit. A novel with some real names in it, a picture of the times,. You can hear the horses feet as they clip clop through Boston, you can sympathize with the first and only female student at MIT.

Frank Sinatra CASTLE ROCK great uptempo Swing Jiver Harry James Orchestra
this gets to me, Harry James and Frank Sinatra, great tempo and combo of sounds.
Reminiscing - by James Tormé
What a difficult song to sing! Great job. I was thinking as I listened, that his voice is similar to Vic Damone, and wondering how he would sound reviving some of Vic Damones big hits!

The Operating Room of the Future - InSightec - Dr. Kobi Vortman Technion...
Do we want to send expensive war machines like tanks and planes to Egypt, as we are doing...to a country that is basically lawless right now....or do we want to invest in the future for the people of the world!
Vic Damone - Just Say I Love Her
Another lovely ballad by Vic Damone.
Vic Damone - You're Breaking My Heart
Vic Damone had a great career, and a light refreshing type voice, along with good looks. It is fun to recall his music, hope you enjoy it too!

David Sanborn & Al Jarreau - Since I Fell For You (live, 1985)
And the instrument wails, and wails calling for a voice to soften the wail...creative , exciting, punctuating, emotive!

a favorite back again....
