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!

Guy Mitchell - Singing The Blues (Live!)

Staying  up with  music,
 Have you heard Marty Robbins sing this number?  Breeze over to his Youtube rendition, its good, but I still favor Guy Mitchell, I like the upbeat arrangement he has.

My heart stood still - Artie Shaw - 78rpm

I talk too much and the song is too far back, so savor the experience of growing up at the end of the 2nd world war and how the spirit of our country responded with the joy of jazz....this is fantastic.!  We all have something to contribute to the greatness of our country!

Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jazz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It becomes important to me to listen to a song famous at the end of the 2nd world war...
as I love the song, and listen to its jazz contributions, I realize even more, how important Artie Shaw was in his contribution to music. He had it!  Travel back in my blog to the Youtube posting of the full song.  The improv is just wonderfully pleasing to the ear.!

]The National Navy UDT-SEAL Museum - History of Naval Special Warfare and SEAL Teams

Next time you plan a trip to Florida, the Navy Seals Museum is a place that I enjoyed.  I was fascinated with the bravery and the training, I learned about at the museum.  There is a lot to do in the Ft Pierce area, many people are not aware of , like the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Museum that is also nearby.  A home we once owned in Florida, was donated to the museum, after purchase from us and now provides the office space for the museum.  It was moved from our site on Jupiter Island, by barge, up the river to it's new home, so the new owner of our property could build a new home.     .Marine Bioluminescence
