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!

Ghosts of Yesterday: Billie Holiday and the Two Irenes | Night Lights Classic Jazz - WFIU Public Radio

BB King Stevie Ray Vaughan Etta James - Midnight Hour

Wow, can't believe I found this by these artists.....one of my favorite songs, really good dancing music!

Pavarotti & B.B. King The Thrill Is Gone

Can we dance to this? It is wonderful when some of the artists combine, like Tony Bennet and KD Lang...music for a rainy weekend. If you are in Newport Friday, watch for the antique Bentleys to pass by, they are heading to Castle Hill and more probably late morning....

Pavarotti & Barry White - My first, my last, my everything

The music in me wants to dance everyday, but, unfortunately I can't dance for hours as I once did, so I listen and imagine. Who would dream I could swing to Pavarotti?

Marvin Gaye Lets Get It On

Remember what a smash hit, this song was....and the beginning of a new dance style, it was a time!

Billy Paul - Me & Mrs Jones

what a nice jazz song, and a great voice, all from long ago

Air travel started in about 1945, when there where people who said they would never fly.
They never did, they lived into this century....without ever getting on an airplane.  From my new book, Enchanted, due out in November.  "Whisper, whisper, they where afraid to fly."

Chubby Checker - Peppermint Twist

there was a place called the Peppermint Lounge, in Miami, and Chubby Checker appeared there. He was the rage! As soon as the music started young men would get up and dance on the rail around the dance floor, and everyone joined them in the twist.

Ella Fitzgerald - Ten cents a dance

Time to bring back this song, a great depression song.

Vera Lynn - When The Lights Go On Again.

We saw films like this scene in our Saturday matinee. We prayed for the lights to go on again, all over the world. Our hearts where in this song, as we prayed for our loved ones to come home alive, rolling bandages after dinner, with Mom at our kitchen table, in Framingham,Mass.

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

Air mail letters flew across the Atlantic and Pacific to our fighting men, was it what got them through this terrible war?

We'll Meet Again - Vera Lynn

Our soldiers and their best love's sang this song, too!

White Cliffs of Dover-lyrics, sung by Vera Lynn

Songs of hope, from the wonderful British songstress, Dame Vera Lynn, her voice crossed the Atlantic and reached the heart of a little girl who was groing up in Framingham, Mass. We children grew up safe in our beds, because our men and women gave their lives and loves for our safety, hope you will read my new book, "Enchanted", about growing up in Framingham, Mass., during the war years, what life was like before and after the war...
it should be published in about a month.
