Step into Denny’s Den to give yourself a little lift as you make your way through the busy day. Or take a break and make the world go away for a while. Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

There's a great Ventures documentary on Hoopla if you can watch. I get Hoopla for free from my local library. The Ventures are Gods in Japan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:21pm

@Dan in Peekskill & Jim G- I'm pretty sure that was a typo, I meant to play the Incredible Bongo Band version of "Apache" - did I get it wrong? thanks LesleyK, much obliged!
  3:23pm
Dan in Peekskill:

I'm guessing that you're right. (You clearly know more about this than me.) But then I love this version too.

Text said both Ventures and IBB. I thought it was a bit unusual for the Ventures. But they recorded A LOT.
