I don't know who wrote this, but it certainly applies to each of my kids! Your little face. It's different from the face I once knew. It's changing from the face of yesterday. It'll be something new a few months from now. I carry all your faces deep in my heart with me. The first … Continue reading Changing Faces
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.

You Are My Moonshine, My Only Moonshine …
This is sort of a rerun from about 5 years ago. I wasn't going to reblog this until I got down to my personal moonshine story. Rereading it made me laugh out loud as I remembered the incident. It's time to celebrate National Moonshine Day! (Originally posted 6-5-21) From the National Day Calendar: Every June … Continue reading You Are My Moonshine, My Only Moonshine …
I Khan’t Get Enough
I am not what you would call a "Trekkie." I do enjoy Star Trek (The Original Series and The Next Generation), but I'm not a fanatic. However, there is one movie that I will always stop and watch if it is on. It was on this day in 1982 that the BEST of all of … Continue reading I Khan’t Get Enough

Top Ten Tuesday
This is the first time I have participated in this, but the prompt got me wondering. That Artsy Reader Girl wants to know the Top Ten Books That I Can't Believe I've Never Read. I know for a fact that there are plenty of "classics" that I have never read. Despite the praise for many … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday

64 years ago today, Ray Charles got his third #1 record when I Can't Stop Loving You topped the charts. The song itself not originally released as a single.

Song Lyric Sunday
Last week, I took part in Jim Adam’s’ “Song Lyric Sunday” and I thought I would do so again. This time around, he wants writers to pick a song about grass, cows, beef, condiments, fries or fast food. Honestly, outside of Old MacDonald Had a Farm, I don't know too many songs about cows. I … Continue reading Song Lyric Sunday
