CD found at Wild Oats in Portland Oregon:
“With an intoxicating blend of Italian songs from the 50s and 60s and contemporary music inspired by this bygone era, Italian Café is a charming collection that will appeal to listeners of any generation.”
(And yes, it is really fun to listen to. Particularly calming to listen to while dealing with Vespa electrics.)

Starbucks has added another Italian Roast (aka Scooter Coffee) product to its line. Unfortunately this one has just a little pic of a scooter on the back of the can. But it’s not a bad drink. I am still waiting for someone to cover a P200 in Italian Roast stickers. I think that would look hot. Someday . . .
