Welcome back to The Music of My Life. I began this feature last May on my birthday. Over the past 11 months, I have featured 10 songs from every year of my life. The songs featured were released in that week's particular year. It may have been a bigger hit the following year, but I … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2016 & 2017
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.

Tune Tuesday – Hold On, I’m Comin’
It was on this day in 1966 that one of the greatest soul songs was released. The story of how it came to be is one of my favorites. I'm talking about Sam & Dave's "Hold On, I'm Coming." As the story goes, songwriter David Porter was in the bathroom. His songwriting partner was Isaac … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Hold On, I’m Comin’

Book Recommendation – The Little Venice Bookshop
On Goodreads there are always people who will talk about the books they DNF (did not finish). I have had a few that I have wanted to stop reading, but never have. Some of them I finish and think, "Well, that was crap!" Most of the time I stick with it, a book will end … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Little Venice Bookshop

I got a call this week from my oldest son. He was so excited to tell me that he is getting his own place. He is ready to move into his own apartment. I'm very proud of him. He has been working a lot and getting himself in a place where he can do this. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
You Might Want To Rethink That Piece of Gum
When I was on Weight Watchers many years ago, one of the coaches suggested that chewing gum throughout the day might help with cravings. A new study, however, suggests that you may be ingesting tens of thousands of microplastics each year by doing so. Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that are less than five … Continue reading You Might Want To Rethink That Piece of Gum
