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. CONTACT ME AT - nostalgicitalian@yahoo.com

Winter Storm and Winter Songs

According to the calendar, it is still officially Autumn. There are still colored leaves on the trees here in Michigan. Many people haven't even started raking them yet.

Missing Muppets – Do You Remember Them?

November 10, 1969 - a wonderful little show debuted on PBS for kids called Sesame Street. It helped children learn letters, numbers, and over the years has tackled subjects like death, divorce, hurricanes, and autism.

Doodles

I have never been able to draw. I wish I could. I have friends of mine who are very talented and can draw almost anything. I just can't. I guess that is why growing up, I used a lot of tracing paper - because that was really the only way anything I attempted to draw … Continue reading Doodles →

Is it “Binge” Worthy?

I am a sleep technologist full time. Naturally, when I see articles related to sleep, I read them. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recently took a survey to find out what keeps us up at night. Coming in at #4 - Playing video games. 59% of men and 42% of women do it. Coming … Continue reading Is it “Binge” Worthy? →

What’s in a name?

The title of this blog is a reference to a great quote by William Shakespeare: Based on Mr. Shakespeare's quote, names really shouldn't matter that much. I think many of us would disagree with him. I mean, a name is often the first thing we learn about a person, right? It is also one of … Continue reading What’s in a name? →

Some years were easier than others. … Continue reading Favorite Films – The 2000’s →
