Every once in a while my kids will do something that just amazes me. That happened last night on Halloween. I took the day off so I could be with the kids yesterday. However, I wound up going to work for a few hours. I need to bank a few extra hours for upcoming stuff. … Continue reading Unexpected Halloween Twist
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
I've been having fun on the blog in the last week or so. However, we've experienced our share of rough stuff at home. Hopefully, we're working our way towards the end of it. Germs! It started with Ella about three weeks ago. She went to urgent care with a fever. They said it was an … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
The Music of My Life – 1994
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 – 1994
Tune Tuesday – Neal Hefti
The amazing Neal Hefti was born today in 1922. Neal may not be a name that you recognize, but I bet that you recognize at least one of the songs that he has composed. He was a jazz trumpet player, arranger, and composer. He began arranging songs in his teens and went on to arrange … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Neal Hefti
Movie Music Monday – Bee Movie
It was on this day in 2007 that Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie premiered. I was working at B-95 at the time and it was a natural tie-in. We had a special advanced screening and we gave away tickets to see it. My oldest son was 5 when it came out and I remember him loving … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Bee Movie
What Did Keith Sound Like On Air?
For non-radio people, an Aircheck is an edited compilation of clips from a DJ's radio show. I recently stumbled on two of them that I made when I did mornings on B-95 in Flint, MI. I figured out how to create a video with audio on YouTube and put them up there. Now that I … Continue reading What Did Keith Sound Like On Air?
Share Your Nostalgia
After seven days of great toys, I suppose it is my turn to wrap things up in my Toy of Your Life topic. Before I begin, I want to extend my gratitude to those seven writers who said, "Yeah, Keith. I'll write up something for your silly feature." Nancy, Colin, Christian, Randy, Max, Dave, and … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia
Share Your Nostalgia
The Share Your Nostalgia experiment is nearing a close. It's been fun for me to see what my fellow bloggers have chosen as the Toy of Their Life. They were asked to write about the ONE toy that meant the most to them as a child. What was the toy that had to go wherever … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia
