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!

something interesting to read...

The L-8 Blimp Mystery

Posted: 14 May 2013 11:21 PM PDT

Not a trace of Cody or Adams was ever found. The L-8 blimp mystery remained a secret to the end.
The post The L-8 Blimp Mystery appeared first on Historic Mysteries.

Count Every Star...Dick Haymes and Artie Shaw

Dick Haymes did not get the attention he should have received. He married Rita Hayworth, which was an attention getter, but he did not qualify for the draft, and people wondered why...he was never a United States citizen, so he was not eligible for the draft.... the rumors really hurt him.

Carioca, with Jose

Which Disney movie was this from? I have been trying to capture it, but it slips my mind. This is how we learned about the music of South America...when I was young.

Carioca, Flying down to Rio

Would you believe, they actually did stunts like this on early airplanes.

Artie Shaw Carioca and Mercedes Special.....

Can you imagine the times!
Beautiful cars, customized to your desire...flappers, and spectacular music....

Artie Shaw

Well it was only going to be a few moments before I broke down and brought you to my favorite version... I love Artie Shaw...!
This arrangment is soooooo good... how about it? What do you think?

Art Pepper, What's New

Adifferent interpretation, that I prefer because of his little toot toot toot in between , they are like little tasty jelly beans that tie the tastes of the different sounds together...red, green yellow, they all taste different....and the sound melts into them...

Whats New Dexter Gordon

Maybe this is another way to say it.....music fits ...sounds, voice, atmosphere, etc....this is the right song for this instrument...it requires a song that has the tone that fits the instrument, just as your voice should fit the song you choose...it is hard to put your finger on it....you need to develop an ear for the sounds, and the mood. This instrument for example is not a good choice for solo on many songs...in my opinion...but as I always say.....what do I know...

You've Changed

here is the female version for a soft voice, like KD. Lang

You've Changed

A song waiting to be revived, is your voice in this category? Perfect song for you..find the songs that fit your voice. The melodies of old will always sell, even to the young group, there is hardly any competition today for great songs...

Louis Prima - I Wan'na Be Like You

got a grampa....? This would be a great gift from one of the grandkids....

Billy Eckstine - I Apologise

Dad love music, can you find this in an old record store for him? This is a fab album...the old style record players are still around, and it would be a great gift to give him...

Don McLean- American Pie (with Lyrics)

An incredible song, full of history, the past and the future? Think about the pauses, just as you pause to write a new chapter, a way to swing from one melody to another...a difficult song to put together, a story , a book, in a song...
