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 Great American Graffiti Race


You will never have the fun our generation had with cars, because they are different today.  Boys could take the old cars apart, and cut them, put them back piece meal, and tailor them to fit their own taste.  This is not available anymore unless you can find an old car that has not been chopped.  These were called "chop cars" or "hot rods".

Sound and Space in Renaissance Venice

Interesting thought....it appears that art and music do mimic each other.  So....with this thought in mind....I read the description of this book.....


While composers of sacred music in 16th-century Venice were devising increasingly complex choral polyphony, Venetian architects began to develop new configurations of sacred space. This fascinating book explores the direct relationship between architectural design and sacred music in Renaissance Venice. Deborah Howard and Laura Moretti combine historical research into the architectural and liturgical traditions of a dozen Venetian churches with the results of a parallel series of scientific surveys and live choral experiments of the acoustic properties of the chosen buildings.

I then recalled a two hour ride last week from Maine to Mass.,  with the "grands" in the 20 year old's car.  The music was not really music, because there was no melody, just an incessant cacophony of noise, whether drum beats, or chants of the street , that we now call music.   It this is the music that is the mode of  the coming society, what is the architecture of this generation going to spawn?  Will we lose the grace and beauty of arches, vaulted ceilings and flowing parts, and face a revolution of angles, odd shapes and mismatches that mirrors the lack of melody, the lack of  flowing sound that teases the ear to hear more?
Here is something to browse, see if you can hear the street chants and drums in the visions we are creating!  Just browsing can be interesting.

This ties in with a new energy healing called Matrix Engergetics
This is very surprising!  Read it and follow the directions.!

Teleportation Is Real – But Don't Try It at Home - TIME

This should get your "kids" interested in science. Nothing is impossible in this world.
Years ago, I said out of the blue, nothing to back it up...."someday we will be able to do
what they do on Star Trek, we will be able to....say "Beam me up,Scottie" and it will happen

My friend who was much smarter than me said, "You can tell you do not know much
about science." I was really sad, to think that my imagination was shot down.

The True Story of the Philadelphia Experiment 1

Here is some of what I was watching, there is more on You Tube...

The UnMuseum - The Philadelphia Experiment

http://www.unmuseum.org/philex.htm
The other night, I watched this fascinating story , on The History Channel, I think, and I could not stop watching it, as I wonder if it was possible to experiment with the Unified field theory. It appears that there are a number of unseen dimensions, so why couldn't it be possible to enter other dimensions with the right conditions. Of course death is the right condition to enter another dimension.

Now, Steven Hawking is saying that there is not a God, because there is too much redundancy in the Universe. I wonder if that reason is the right reason to believe that there is no God. It appears that redundancy is common in the universe and maybe that is God's Plan, who are we to know. Perhaps there are a number of people that exist as you, in different regions, and in different life styles, as there are other universes where we exist in other worlds...and on and on.

Secrets of the Heart

A novel about growing up in a New England town from the point of view of love, and how it affected the people  born between the first world war and the second world war.

 We were the pre- baby boomers, we got none of the credit for what came to be, but we were the ones who learned how propaganda can influence the world, from our growing up during the seond world war.  It was our generation, that brought tv broadcasting to what it became by the time the baby boomers were even watching it.  We were the first of the teenage cult!  Sevnteen Magazine grew up with us!

We were a lost, overlooked generation that became the most powerful generation in the world, those born between the two wars.  A small novel that just touches on the core of the generation, personalized by love stories.
