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!

Frank Sinatra & Tommy Dorsey - Imagination

Today a strange event.  I was listening to Sirius in the car, Sinatra station 71...I thought it sounded like Sammy Davis, and I looked at the title in my car radio, surprised to see it was Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey, I forgot the song, but at the end he stretched to hit a high note....just listen to Sinatra fitting himself to the rhythm of Tommy Dorsey.. it is the Tommy Dorsey beat, sound etc...and he is fitting his voice to that...then listen to the Nelson Riddle years...everything changes...I think Frank is the best example of finding your own voice.  He was great with Dorsey, but with Nelson Riddle, I don't think anyone can argue, it was RIGHT!
