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!

The Sign, the Shroud of Turin and the Secret of the Resurrection

Here is a new book getting attention called The Sign, it is entirely possible, that if something happened, it could have been as described in this book, but on the other hand, I like my theory better...that a ray of light was utilized to create the resurrection and the resulting image.  After all, it is light that we exist in......but what do I know?
Here below is another book on the shroud ...I have not had time to dive into them yet.  But, love to follow the mysteries of the world, so hopefully, soon, I can get back to a break of serious reading.
Still trying to get my second book published, and that is a lot of work.

Sharon Jones - Something's changed

When Amy Winehouse left us, I thought, her band has to be around, I looked and looked and finally found the great sound behind her...The Dap- Kings....they still have their great sound.  Lets hope they get the chance to keep bringing their great music to us.  Here is a great song by Sharon Jones, who seems to be performing with them a lot.

The Consolation of Philosophy: Scientific American

The Consolation of Philosophy: Scientific American This is a fun article to read, his book and his comments have stirred up a nest....however, the science is there, and the questions remain. As he says theological questions can not be answered by science, but lots of our thinking is just not always right or wrong, from what they can observe in the world of quantum science. 
We can see that in our attempts to be a caring giving economy, every action we take causes another action to take place. We can stop and see that in the world of gross matter, just as the scientists can see it in the quantum world. How many years will pass before we can as a world people come to the conclusion that we have to consider our actions in combination with an attempt to anticipate the results of these actions before we act.  
It is a repeating world, from the infinitely small to the infinetly large, all interacting in a hugh hologram, can we control it? Can we learn to control some of it? I think the questions remain unanswered forever, because all paths are always open until we commit. Once we choose to observe, then the commitment is made, based on the uncertainty principle. But, then , what do I know!

For the First Time, Electrons are Observed Splitting into Smaller Quasi-Particles | Popular Science  One wonders if this can continue into infinity, much too small to see.?...We are finding that codes ae self replicating, and maybe so is the DNA of our body, and on and on.  Do you think there are self replicating worlds?  Is this where the idea of many dimensions comes from?  Could the demise of our economic system become self replicating?  Lots of thoughts for a dreary day in Massachusetts.

Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country And Western Music

This is part of the story of Ray Charles.  I saw a program on television about his life .  It was incredible how he overcame his blindness to become one of the greats of our culture.   His records are going to fade away someday if we don't keep them alive.

Edge : Conversations on the edge of human knowledge

Edge : Conversations on the edge of human knowledge  Any eggheads here?  Great stuff, especially the self replicating codes....wow, this gives us food for thought!

Los Indios Tabajaras Adios, Begin the Beguine

  How can this song, Adios, be so beautiful with such a simple melody?  is it just that they found their guitars in a magic jungle,as they once said.  Was it so magic that when they picked up the guitars, they could not resist the notes calling their fingers .....and off into forever, the music carries us... Adios a song that calls an end, but promises a return...by its unending beauty.  So my journey through the reality of others in the world ends today for attention to my everyday reality

St Regis Resort Bora Bora

I always wondered where this was, maybe when my husband and I marry in our next life, we will go here for a honeymoon.  Try and build it in this country!

"The Rainbow Body Phenomenon" with Father Francis Tiso | "Exploring the Frontiers of Consciousness" Lecture Series | IONS Library | Institute of Noetic Sciences

This lecture series with Father Tiso is incredible.  I loaned my tapes to someone and never got them back.  I think that Father Tiso is doing a wonderful job, crossing into another frontier.

The Mission of Rudolf Steiner: by Dr. Ernst Katz

The Mission of Rudolf Steiner: by Dr. Ernst Katz  Last night or early this morning, I watched a television program about the human body.  The Framingham Heart Study was mentioned and information from it indicated we are still evolving, only now, we are getting shorter and stouter.   This could be because no one walks anymore, the way we walked once, marching as armies, walking for Christ, as St Paul did, or traveling from place to place.  We were walkers even in my childhood, when we walked to Milford from Framingham and back, because cars were not available like they are today.

 It also discussed how drying alcolholic drinks are to the body, the mouth and organs.   Something I always believed, was that alchol and drugs, cause our arteries and veins to shrink, as does the brain shrink in its cavity, this is where hangovers come from, the shrinking of the brain in its cavity, because the water is drawn from your body tissue.  The alcohol, causes 4 times the amount of water to leave the body than what you drank in alcohol, now that makes sense.    So jumping to the next topic, of a changing evolving human being....

If you read about Rudolf Steiner, who was a forever man in this world, you will see that it is entirely possible, that we have left the dreaming world, the world the Aborigines spoke of so well in their oral history.  Could this be?  How can we ever know what is right and what is wrong about what we should believe.  Maybe there is a guide, inside of us, the very same guide that helps us make decisions, that helps us to know right from wrong?

Sissel Kyrkjebø - Here there and everywhere (The Beatles)

Another song of the Century, I absolutely love it by the Beatles, but thought I would look for someone else to help you fall in love with this song, as I have.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Johnny Mathis & Ray Charles - Duet

and when two giants combine with their inner rhythms , creative genius and tecnique, you get this, which is incredible in my mind.

Eric Clapton - Over The Rainbow - Los Angeles 2001

, this combines with technique and your inner ear to make the most beautiful music

Layla - Eric Clapton - Lyrics

A song for the Century, don't you agree?

Forks Over Knives - Official Trailer

This is one of the most thought provoking trailers you can possibly let into your mind.  Let it stay there and think about what it says.  There are tons of books available on healthy diet , yet  we are so far away from it, that it is hard to get back on the track of eating what is right and best for our body.  Good luck, on the bumpy road, of re learning...how to eat right, exercise and stay healthy.  It is hard to break the old habits.

Saturday, March 31, 2012

Wynton Marsalis & Eric Clapton - Layla

Eric Clapton talks Jazz....

"Out In The Country" - P. K. and The Sound Explosion (1977)

 this song, did not stay around long, but the melodie is great, it calls for conclusion, but does not quite get there fast enough, so you keep listening for the next refrain...it sticks...

The Guess Who - Clap For The Wolfman (1974) Tribute to: "Wolfman Jack"

Guess who is in front?  Love the wolfman, wish we could bring him back....comon, lets have another wolfman...

John Belushi

I could not resist this again, it is one of my favorites..

pinterest

Pinned ImageHa ha, this is from my pinterest board....

Billie Holiday - The Very Thought of You

We can't forget Billy Holiday, shades of Diana Ross, is it the timing?  Is it the voice?  something calls Diana Ross to mind...

At Last-Etta James

How can this escape the favorites list?  No way, it is one of the old time favorites and only Etta can sing it like this..perfect.  I was sitting in a restaurant in Martha's Vineyard when I first heard it.

Dinah Washington - That Sunday That Summer

Maybe you never heard this, it is not on the air much, but one of the great songs of the past.

Ella Fitzgerald - Skylark

I favor the timbre of Ella...

Hoagy Carmichael - Skylark

Hoagy didn't have a bad voice, but some of the versions done by others are fabulous

Heart and Soul - Hoagy Carmichael (1938)

this little repeating ditty, captured us...I played it on the piano and accordion, it was easy to memorize.  It rolled out of the radio, and went round and round on the record player, for days....

Louis Prima - Night Train

The dynamite version of this song...I love to hear it and repeat it once in awhile.
another favorite,

All Night Long-Louis Prima And Keely Smith(1956).avi

 This is one of their best,posted more than once...

Louis Prima & Keely Smith - "That Old Black Magic" (1958)

what fun ...with Louis Prima and Keely Smith, we can't let them fade out of our repertoire

Jim Lowe - Green Door (Original)

This played on the radio, in the car, in the house, it was everywhere, a part of our lives, and if you think back you can probably remember a day that you heard it and what you were doing it, it was so prevalent.

Jim Lowe - Green Door (Original)

I was one of the many who kept this song on the top of the charts, it was mesmerizing and played on the radio all day long.

Guy Mitchell | Singing the Blues | 1956

Jumping and jiving music, dust and vacuum around with the record player going...

"Don't Take Your Love From Me" Joni James

there was a special quality to her voice that mesmerized us.

"Red Sails in the Sunset" Joni James

 We might have been jumping and jiving teens, who had the first cars for teenagers, but we also had romantic songs like this.

Nancy Sinatra Who Will Buy

What a wonderful song, and it seems that it has been ignored by our great male singers...I would love to hear it sung by Andrea Bocelli, for example, or played by a symphony orchestra, even looking for it in the play Oliver it is hard to find a good version.  I can hear it played by violin chorus...or what do you think..?
