Back in November, I did a feature I called "Share Your Nostalgia." I asked some of my blogger friends to write up a piece that focused on their favorite toy from childhood. The response was positive and it was suggested to do another round. So this time around, I asked for them to tell us … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2
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.

Life’s Little Moments
Tax Time We did our taxes this weekend. Well, we didn't, but our tax guy did. It's always nice to know that you're getting a refund. What was even nicer was to know that we are getting back money from the state taxes, too. It's never really a lot of money, but it is better … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments

The Music of My Life – 2008
Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life. In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 2008

Tune Tuesday – Fleetwood Mac
It was on this day in 1977 that Fleetwood Mac released what many consider to be their best album, Rumours. I don't know this to be a fact, but I would guess it would appear in the Top 10 of any "Best Album" lists. Today should be TuneS Tuesday, because you get a bonus cut. … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Fleetwood Mac

Movie Music Monday – The Lion King
Nathan Lane turns 69 today. Nathan has starred in movies like The Birdcage, Mouse Hunt and The Producers. To me, he will always be Timon from The Lion King, where he introduced us to the phrase "Hakuna Matata." In this popular song from the 1994 Disney classic The Lion King, Timon the meerkat (Nathan) and … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – The Lion King
Spy A Little Spy For Me
Sometimes I just have to chuckle. Apparently, my life is still of interest to folks from my past who have yet to move on. Let me explain. I had one of those Tik Tok pages a while ago. My coworkers sit and watch videos at work when they get a break. One of them suggested … Continue reading Spy A Little Spy For Me
