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!

Barry White and Pavrotti

I love Barry White's voice, so I could not resist, I must have posted this before....and again a thanks to Pavrotti for his genorosity of spirit, making music like this ties the generations and more.  Maybe Barry White would have been a great opera singer?  Who knows ?

The magic of music!

Who would have thought, James Brown, the big orchestra and Pavrotti!  A  thank you Pavrotti for your contribution to the wonders of music, joining with our pop singers to prove it!
