As the Song Draft continues, this is one that was on my list, and then I removed it. Then, while listening to my iPod, I decided it was too good not to include it. Once again, it has Detroit roots. This song was also on the list of songs my dad wanted me to record … Continue reading Song Draft 2021- Round Four Pick – Misery by The Dynamics
Author: nostalgicitalian
I'm just a guy who likes the classics. I love Old Time Radio Shows. I love Classic TV. I love Classic Movies. I love songs from the "Great American Songbook". I dig songs from the first decade of Rock and Roll. Don't get me wrong, I am not opposed to newer things. My musical taste ranges from Classical to Classic Rock and Country to Rap. I love a good book and am always looking for something to read. I tend to lean toward historical fiction, biographies, mysteries, and more.
I have always believed that our past (and the things we've experienced in it) make us who we are today. That being said, after reading through some old My Space blogs (yeah, that's about how long it's been since I blogged regularly), I decided that I should once again write. Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it interesting, thought provoking, and entertaining in some way.

Baby Waves Hello
For the first time in months, I got to accompany Sam to her OB/GYN appointment today. Up until just recently, they were only allowing the patient into the office. As I mentioned in a previous blog, the pregnancy has been a bit rough on Sam. I have hated not being there for support. I have … Continue reading Baby Waves Hello
The Countdown Has Begun
Technically we are about 8 weeks away from the arrival of our baby boy. He is due on October 13th. I have a feeling, though, that he will be arriving earlier than expected. I have to give major kudos to my wife. Sam has had a very difficult time with this pregnancy, I won't go … Continue reading The Countdown Has Begun
Color My World!
This is some sort of new trend I guess - Adult Coloring Books! They have been around for a bit, but recently at the store, I saw an entire rack of them - FOR ADULTS! Supposedly this is a big way to reduce stress. I used to love to color as a kid. I had … Continue reading Color My World!
My First Date
I tend not to use daily writing prompts, as many of them I find silly or just stupid. However, every once in a while, one will come in the email that makes me go "I haven't written about that" or "That might be fun to write about." Today, the prompt was "Do you remember your … Continue reading My First Date
Song Draft 2021 – Round 3- Look At Little Sister – Hank Ballard/Stevie Ray Vaughn
Welcome to Round Three of the 2021 Song Draft hosted by Hanspostcard. It has been fun for me to pick and share my songs, but even cooler to check out the picks of the other participants. As I compiled my list of songs to pick from, I had Hank Ballard and Stevie Ray Vaughn on … Continue reading Song Draft 2021 – Round 3- Look At Little Sister – Hank Ballard/Stevie Ray Vaughn
Another Weird Dream …
I had to laugh when I opened my work email tonight. Apparently, I didn't want to forget the weird dream I had today and emailed myself about it. I was obviously half asleep when I typed the email because of the unbelievable amount of spelling errors in it. To me, there is nothing more annoying … Continue reading Another Weird Dream …

I'm not one that will sit here and post a weekly recipe. As a matter of fact, the only recipe I posted was for Waikiki Meatballs in a blog about my mom. Yet, here we are.

95 and Still Going Strong!

He has released a whopping 60 albums, 11 live albums, and 33 compilation albums in his career. He first hit the charts in 1951 with a … Continue reading 95 and Still Going Strong!
