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!

Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton - Layla

Blues lovers, surprise!  Wynton Marsalis took over the reins of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and he is doing a great job, according to Sunday New York Times, page 22 AR.  Now he has enveloped Eric Clapton in the language of the Gods, as Clapton  describes jazz...   what do you think of the slow New Orleans version...it works as Clapton says.....but...being a Clapton lover...I ache for his fast version of the song.  I appreciate this version...but the aching is too strong....I need to go there...
