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!

Los Indios Tabajaras - As Time Goes By

Signing off for now, with the lovely sound of the magic guitars

CONNIE FRANCIS: "You're Breaking My Heart" (1965)

I like to mention Connie Francis when I talk about Jerry Vale, she had the same quality in her voice.  Longing for the next stanza, is what creates the mystery of success...

Jerry Vale - You're Breaking My Heart (1963)

Remembering the great Jerry Vale, his music once surrounded us in our daily acitivites

Jerry Vale - I have but one heart ('O marenariello)

A crooner for sure, and this was another major hit for Jerry Vale

Jerry Vale "I Hear a Rhapsody" 1968

Here it is, the song belonged to Jerry Vale...an achingly beautiful voice in this number

Jimmy Gilmer & The Fireballs - Sugar Shack

We loved this,

Sugaa Shack

Okay, someone new....I was looking for Sugar Shack, a great song of the past, and discovered this...worth listening to nice rhythm, good voices

Ella Mae Morse - The Blacksmith Blues (1952)

Shoo Shoo baby, was a great, but this was her biggest hit.. we loved to dance to it

♥♥ "I Hear a Rhapsody" ♫ Steve Lawrence

This might be nice to hear from our today star, Michael Buble...it fits his voice, I think.  Steve Lawrence might not have had the hit.  I am trying to think if it was Vaughn Munroe's song...

Ink Spots - Who Wouldn't Love You

Better to not cry, lets perk up with this

Nat King Cole Time Out For Tears

This is appropriate, when I think of what it was like during the war.  Dinah Washington had the major hit for this song, so I will post it for you

Jo Stafford I'll Walk Alone

Listen to her voice, it just crys for the next stanza...she draws you to it....A major hit a song of longing from the 2nd World War...a time of tears,  and sacrifice all over the world.

PATSY CLINE - You Belong To Me

  Listen to the quality of her voice!  She had great hits too as most of us know , but Jo Stafford won out on this song!

Jo Stafford - You Belong To Me

Its amazing that my record hasn't lost its grooves, this played over and over and over and over....Did you too play this over and over?

Joni James - Why Don't You Believe Me

This is why we loved Joni James

Madeleine Peyroux Dance me to the end of love

One of my favorites from the album I have. Please support the young artists and keep the old ones alive by purchasing their albums, and talking about their music.  Collections are nice to have, the old originals that I have are in great shape, and always available to hear on my special new player, that takes 78, 45, and a cassette.

Madeleine Peyroux - Walkin' After Midnight

You know I love Madeleine Peyroux, listen to the back up music, it is wonderful... Studio band?   Last night I heard a well known comedian on television remark that young struggling artists need to get on popular shows to beome known.  How generous we were with that attitude.   We need to continue to allow tryouts and spots on the popular night time shows for our young people to shine.  I met Michael Buble because my grandson, gave me an album for Christmas, he said, " I know you will love this , Nan!"  I did....  Remember Ed Sullivan, with Elvis, I remember, and when Elvis started moving his body, his legs, wow, ...ha ha ha.  Elvis shot to stardom that night.

Larry Chance - Life Is But A Dream

coud not resist sharing this, impressive!
