Dennis Diken's avatar View Dennis Diken's profile Favoriting

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!

Did anyone ever see the short video of Merry and Mick talking about Gimme Shelter? It gave me the chills to hear her raw vocal track. And I never noticed her voice crack in the song the way it does. It’s on you tube for those interested.

Wild Honey!!! <3 Thanks for hanging out last Sunday; too many people and too many short songs to return my appreciation.

I remember the Four Freshman from my days working with mosaic records. (I designed a FF layout at some point for them)

Gerry from Miami:

The Turtles are a R&R Hall of Fame snub. So great! My friend, Chuck Portz, their original bassist, decided early on that the rock and roll lifestyle was not his bag, so he left them. But not before writing one of their finest tunes, "Grim Reaper of Love."

I spent most of Sir Raymond Davies' 77th birthday this week listening to as much of the Kinks catalog as I could. Orange Peel and Andrew Sandoval piled it on thick on their shows Monday here on WFMU as well.

Gerry from Miami:

I knew you couldn't play the Four Freshmen and not follow it up with a Beach Boys classic. Brian has always cited the Freshmen as a major influence.

John Vivyan and Ross Martin starred in "Mr. Lucky." My mom thought it was too "adult" for her 12-year old son.
