This book came up more than once on my recommendations. Granted, I have read a lot of World War II books and plenty about Auschwitz. The Happiest Man on Earth is written by Eddie Jaku. I would not think that "happy" and "Auschwitz" appear in a sentence together too often. I decided to give it … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Happiest Man on Earth
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.

May I Have This Dance?
Sam pointed out to me that next to Christmas, the day of the Daddy Daughter Dance is what our daughter looks forward to most. She is SO right. We've been counting down the days since Christmas! Thanks to the steroids that the doctor put me on, I packed on a few more pounds than I … Continue reading May I Have This Dance?
Star Light, Star Bright, First Star on the Walk Tonight
65 years ago today, Hollywood started to break up the crumbling sidewalks and adding stars! I'm talking, of course, about the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was on this day that the first star was placed. Do you know whose star it was? I'll tell you in a paragraph or two. After the official groundbreaking … Continue reading Star Light, Star Bright, First Star on the Walk Tonight
Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2 Wrap up (and my picks)
As I have said all week, I wasn't sure how a second round of nostalgia would go. I was pleasantly surprised to see the stats for the posts of my guest bloggers. Speaking of them, I need to thank Randy, Christian, Max, Stewart, and Dave for all taking time to write a piece for this … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2 Wrap up (and my picks)
Share Your Nostalgia – Round 2
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
Friday Photo Flashback
This week I was looking for something non-blog related and came across a photo I forgot about. This is a five or six year old me. I had been taking organ lessons with the sweetest teacher. I remember there was a store in the mall that sold pianos and organs, I took my lessons there. … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

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
