	♥ 2:23pm myron feld: Earl Palmer's bio (also entitled "Backbeat") was a good read. I liked the pride he took in being able to read the charts for movie and TV scores.

	♥ 2:27pm LesleyK: :) small faces
	♥ 2:28pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - oh yes indeed, never need no arm twistin' when it comes to playing our beloved Small Faces!
	♥ 2:29pm Dennis Diken: @myron - yeah, like, 3 times. had dinner once. he was too, too cool!
	2:31pm Andrew in Toronto: That`s pretty high cotton Dennis.
	♥ 2:34pm Dennis Diken: @Andrew - yeah, he had a regular Tuesday nite jam hang at Chadney's in Burbank in the 80s/90s
	2:35pm Andrew in Toronto: It`s all about the hang!
	♥ 2:36pm LesleyK: Rankin' Full Stop IS a great show! definitely a Sunday must.

	♥ 2:46pm Dennis Diken: yeah LesleyK - missing his shows is a mortal "Sin!" @gene - so glad you're here! and MFlynn. agreed Woo!
	♥ 2:46pm myron feld: ah, the best bass line ever (Am I The Same Girl/Soulful Strut).....
	2:48pm Nutley Sam: @Dennis -- conflicting info out there on who played drums on the Odd Couple (TV) theme. Sounds like Earl to me rather than Hal. Can you confirm or deny? The incidental music is trickier!
	♥ 2:48pm Cal Zone!: Hi DD and the rest! Thanks for playing Rochester NY's, and Brighton HS alum Steve Alaimo earlier! He's the ginchiest!
	2:50pm Nutley Sam: @Cal how did I not know Steve Alaimo was a BHS alum? I wonder if used the same gym locker as him...
	♥ 2:50pm Woo: I heard Run Mascara Run for the first time last week and loved it. So glad to hear it again.
	♥ 2:51pm Cal Zone!: Es poseeblay Nutley SE! I posted some yearbook photos a few weeks ago...I'll try to dig em up for a repost!
	2:52pm :jenn: Sounds like David Geddes got his hook for “Run Joey Run” from “Run Mascara.”
	♥ 2:59pm Dennis Diken: @myron - oh yeah, we were trying to get to the "bottom" of best bass lines a while back, right. @NutleySam - my money is on Earl for the Odd Couple Theme, can't be 100% sure tho. yeah Woo, I was reminded of "RMR" on Glynis' show the other day. @Cal Zone - Steve A made his mark in Florida later, yes? @:jenn - veddy interesting!
	♥ 2:59pm Woo: Fever. With more strings.
	2:59pm Gerry from Miami: Cal Zone! Steve Alaimo was a sensation here in the Miami area starting shen I was in junior high, pre-Beatles.
	♥ 3:01pm Cal Zone!: Yes, Steve graduated HS and ended up going to college in Florida where his career took off, but previously he played with a few different groups in Rochester area.
	♥ 3:03pm Dennis Diken: totally into my Alaimo. Mikey Shelley is too, I say! did he (Alaimo, that is) work on those Blowfly rekkids as well?
	3:03pm Gerry from Miami: "Every Day I Have to Cry Some," very big hit on WQAM, 560
	♥ 3:04pm Cal Zone!: He played in his cousin Jim Alaimo's band and recorded with them too. As well as a couple of other HS dopes who would later make small marks in the industry! And yes, the same Steve Alaimo who would later start TK Records!
	♥ 3:07pm Listener Baby: Grady Tate Among his most widely heard vocal performances are the songs "I Got Six", "Naughty Number Nine", and "Fireworks" from Multiplication Rock and America Rock, both part of the Schoolhouse Rock series
	♥ 3:09pm Dennis Diken: @Listener Baby - right! great drummer, he was, too
	3:10pm Sissophonic Cheryl: Todd is driving, enjoying the show! I'm enjoying at home!
	3:10pm DA The DJ: Hi everyone!
	3:13pm ChrisB.: I saw Otis Blackwell in a little bar in Red Bank in the late 70’s with a local pickup band. And yes, he did sound just like Elvis
	♥ 3:13pm Cal Zone!: Jim Alaimo would later join the Mojo Men and wrote a few songs, and BHS chum Brad Shapiro would later drum for various combos, wrote, and produced a few! All of these dorks were Brighton HS pals....and this same school would later spawn the Elwitt Brothers!
	♥ 3:16pm Gaylord Fields: I'm a huge Steve Alaimo fan too! His ska LP is especially great! The Blues Busters were his backing vocalists, to give it real Jamaican cred.
	3:20pm Nutley Sam: Del's version of Handy Man is Gallant to James Taylor's Goofus
	3:22pm Nutley Sam: @Cal the Degrads recorded with an engineer from the Mojo Men whose name escapes me. I can picture him.
	3:22pm ChrisB.: Dave Edmunds sounds like Johnny Kidd.
	♥ 3:23pm Dennis Diken: @Sissophonic - lotsa love and hey to Todd-O! DA! TAST! @ChrisB, right on. @Gaylord - gotta dig that one out! @Nutley Sam - good point!
	3:23pm SmokinJ: Dave Rules!
	3:23pm ChrisB.: See?
	♥ 3:24pm myron feld: @Nutley Sam, the Gallant & Goofus reference is the Highlights of my day.
	3:26pm Gerry from Miami: Johnny Kidd and Dave Edmunds sound very similar. Everybody influencing and imitating each other in those days. And remember the hundreds of Beatle-sound-alike bands during the original British Invasion.
	3:28pm Gerry from Miami: Chris B and SmokinJ Looks like we all had the same tbought at once concerning Edmunds and Kidd
	3:30pm SmokinJ: Absolutely Gerry! Saw Dave 'back in the day' solo in '94 and with Rockpile. The cat knew how to rock! I hope he's OK. ... 8-)
	3:31pm Carl from Providence: ah, I miss Lupos
	♥ 3:33pm Dennis Diken: @SmokinJ - Rockpile were my band of the '70s, never missed 'em! @Carl from Providence - me too!
	3:35pm Carl from Providence: Hey Dennis, As a former drummer, I think drummers make the best DJ's
	♥ 3:36pm Glynis GirlGroupGirl: Enjoying the spectrum of your sounds today Dennis
	3:37pm SmokinJ: dd: Saw Dave in the same room at the old Eagles Club in BrewTown as I saw you guys at least once (or twice) 8-)
	♥ 3:38pm Dennis Diken: @Carl from Providence - I take it you are not expecting an argument here? thanks Glynnis! cool, that, SmokinJ!
	3:38pm Dave in St Albans UK: Hi Dennis. Enjoying today's show! Thanks.
	3:39pm Patti K: Hi all - late to the party but happy to be here
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: Karen Carpenter and brother Richard were as smooth as silk. Record production values that defined the 70s.
	♥ 3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Dave in St Albans UK - thank you, sir! @Gerry from Miami - to be sure! hi Patti K!
	3:43pm ChrisB.: More often than not, a song I’m not familiar with that really grabs me turns out tone The Searchers.
	♥ 3:45pm Dennis Diken: @ChrisB - my admiration for The Searchers knows no bounds!
	3:49pm Mike Conroy: Wish I had picked up that Cowsills cd when it was available!
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: Had a friend in college('64-'69) who regaled me no end about the Searchers, the Who and the Kinks. No Beatles or Sfones for him! He read the NME religiously and followed the English scene as,if his life depended on it. Have to admit, his enthusiasms rubbed off on me. All his fave bands are in my all-time pantheon(along with those pesky Beatles and Stones as well, of course!)
	♥ 3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Mike - I know it was hard to find for a while there, again, I assume? @Gerry - good man!
	3:53pm Gerry from Miami: Enjoyed this first-time visit into Denny's Den. Great show! See ya next week, I hope!
	3:53pm Andrew in Toronto: Thanks again for the great show Dennis!
	♥ 3:53pm Dennis Diken: thanks Gerry! thanks Andrew!

	♥ 3:54pm Dennis Diken: @LesleyK - much obliged!
	♥ 3:55pm Dennis Diken: THANKS "YON DENIZENS OF THE DEN" FOR TUNING IN AND HANGING OUT! I LOVE YOU ALL MADLY! ONTO THE MARATHON!!

	3:56pm Rob Seel: Thanks for the cool show, Dennis!

	3:35pm Carl from Providence: Hey Dennis, As a former drummer, I think drummers make the best DJ's

	3:37pm SmokinJ: dd: Saw Dave in the same room at the old Eagles Club in BrewTown as I saw you guys at least once (or twice) 8-)

	3:39pm Patti K: Hi all - late to the party but happy to be here
	3:39pm Gerry from Miami: Karen Carpenter and brother Richard were as smooth as silk. Record production values that defined the 70s.
	♥ 3:40pm Dennis Diken: @Dave in St Albans UK - thank you, sir! @Gerry from Miami - to be sure! hi Patti K!
	3:43pm ChrisB.: More often than not, a song I’m not familiar with that really grabs me turns out tone The Searchers.
	♥ 3:45pm Dennis Diken: @ChrisB - my admiration for The Searchers knows no bounds!
	3:49pm Mike Conroy: Wish I had picked up that Cowsills cd when it was available!
	3:49pm Gerry from Miami: Had a friend in college('64-'69) who regaled me no end about the Searchers, the Who and the Kinks. No Beatles or Sfones for him! He read the NME religiously and followed the English scene as,if his life depended on it. Have to admit, his enthusiasms rubbed off on me. All his fave bands are in my all-time pantheon(along with those pesky Beatles and Stones as well, of course!)
	♥ 3:52pm Dennis Diken: @Mike - I know it was hard to find for a while there, again, I assume? @Gerry - good man!
