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!

Billy Eckstine - Satin Doll
We had all of his records was it 1949 on?

Hedy Lamarr 2 (Samson and Delilah)
it is true, that Hedy Lamarr invented....read the blurbs here on You tube...there is no sound in the scenes, so go thru to Youtube

Anne Murray - Snowbird (with lyrics)
Time for tea, and a bite to break the end of the day. Anne Murray had a wonderful husky voice, this song was a big hit for her.

The Pink Elephant by Tony Osborne
This is great
Dorothy Lamour "I Remember You"
Just another great song, from the movie, The Fleet is In...undying in it's beauty, and one of my favorites I have posted before by others.
Dorothy Lamour - The Moon Of Manakoora, 1943
Released during the war, we all dreamed of the gorgeous Pacific Islands, a break from the war , and somewhere to park our dreams then and in the future, when things got tough.
Snow white with a smile and a song (instrumental)
A gorgeous instrumental version of the song. I tried to find the Tony Osborne version on You Tube, but it is not available there
With A Smile and A Song - Snow White
Sometimes I can't help but think that life is laid out for us, that maybe there is a path lit by stars through the Universe, with periods of black outs where we have to find our way back to the light. I saw this film maybe around 1939 when I was 4 years old. My wonderful mother, sang this song with me for a long time, and we smiled through life, Mom and me.
The music never left me and this song, it seemed to carry a message that I would share with my daughter who was terminally ill for most of her life. We can do it, we can get through the tough days, it is not easy, but the path is there if we look for it. Karen and I always tried to be positive, it was the most difficult life for her and for me, that one can imagine, yet we got through it.

The Root of all Evil is?
Today, when reading The New York Times, I was brought back to another time, to a gentle man, and his influence on a generation. We could not miss, with a man like this leading our children. Just compare our today world, with the world we once knew. We can't stop progress, but we can stop the wars, not just the wars over seas but the wars we are fabricating in our own country for political gain. Who ever is thinking up these fabricated wars, must be a mean spirited person, who puts winning over everything. Who said money is the root of all evil? I think it is the struggle for power that is the root of all evil, how about you?

The Benefits of Bilingualism - NYTimes.com
The Benefits of Bilingualism - NYTimes.com This is an interesting article, which I happen to agree with. Teaching children a second language from the early years, allows them to grow in this diverse world and speak with people from other countries, who may not have had the benefit of being bilingual.
