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!

Swing Time - Rogers and Astaire

this is appropriate to watch after The Nicholas Brothers,  note that Fred Astaire is wearing, "spats", those are the white covers on his shoes.  They were worn by the military and civilians to keep mud off your ankles, back in the 30's and 30's and early 40's.  Fred had a taste for dressing, and knew the value of having the eye attracted to his feet as he danced.
