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!

Ella Fitzgerald "Shiny Stockings"

This is the time for Ella to get us up and going.....wow!  I love this and Kenny always loved it...when he was 4 he would ride with me in the car to Florida, and Ella , sang this to him, he loved it...we played jazz all the way south and back...just Kenny and me, with the greatest sounds.  Maybe that is where he learned to love music of all genres, like I do
look at this price!  If you have a cassette radio, this is great and ....you can still buy the cassette radios,
This is the one I take with me, I love it  So, why do I bother with a cassette, because I can load the cassette with my old tapes, I even bought a player that plays cassettes, single 78's and old 45's too....just for the fun of being a teenager again.

Sometimes I forget how old I am, and head out with all the fire, smoke and spit of the young cowboys and cowgirls, only to be struck down by the attacking lion of old age.....in the first glimpse of the sun as I step out of the car and try to climb the stairs....oh darn!  I do better in the land of dreams, where i can run, and even fly through the air.....

Now, to find a new young body, to place this old brain in, and wow.....
