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!

Squints:

I'm surprised I don't hear this drums-a-Go-Go thing played more often in sports arenas to fire up fans or celebrate hockey goals. Like "Brass Bonanza." Which you can't play anymore. ESPECIALLY in Raleigh. Not that I'm bitter. 8^)

You rang? But yes, Mary's TCF records were very sympathetic to her Motown productions, with the difference being they did not sell a whit. And a lot of high quality songwriters and producers tried.

I'll throw in another compliment on the Tommy James interview, TOPT! I didn't get to listen to it until the day after, but it was fantastic! I picked up his book after hearing the rebroadcast of Spazz's interview last year. Your interview expanded upon it all! Thank you!

When I was a kid, I went to the open house to celebrate the brand spanking new Nassau Coliseum. I met Hal David that day among other interesting celebrities. (Back in the Ralph G.
