I was born and raised on the Jersey shore along with such people as the Boss. But everyone knew Frankie’s music at the time music ruled. We lived in a time of no color or race it was the music the ruled. My favorite was Rag Doll and by by baby. Each song told a story of the time we lived and learned. Those were the years of hopes and dreams even a young President was elected. But music brought a generation together and it still does today. Jersey is home and the people are all family. My youngest daughter returned from Afghanistan and took me to the show Jersey Boys and she said she remembered the songs from movies not the artist. Well I have her the lesson and I sang along with each and every show as that was my time. The young man Taylor played Frankie’s part and he was great and I even got to meet him and the other four seasons.
