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!

Evan Davies played 'Pop Music' by m earlier.. remember that one? also another early Mtv memory for me.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:17pm
Dennis Diken:

@LesleyK - re "Pop Music" - yeah, it received nonstop airplay in the NYC area in the day! @myron feld - "Polk Salad Annie" is another wah-wah fave!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
myron feld:

Indeed, DD. I once won a Creem Magazine trivia contest (prize: a Boy Howdy! t-shirt) by correctly answering this: "Who was the first person to play a wah-wah pedal in public?" No googling!

Vince Taylor was crazed!

Gerry from Miami:

Maybe it's just me, but the mention of MTV leaves me with a funny taste in my mouth. I admit to being addicted to it back then, but even they had to "give up the ghost" eventually. It used to bug me when songs that were in strong rotation on MTV were played on regular radio stations, I couldn't get those visual images out of my head. Felt like brainwashing. Or am I being too harsh?

LesleyK:

i have to agree Gerry from Miami.

oh, it's Wanda Jackson's bday today!

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:30pm
Dennis Diken:

@Gaylord - always thought Tom Petty sounded uncannily like Jimmy Silva on this track!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:31pm
Gaylord Fields:

@DD: I was thinking the exact same thing!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:32pm

Jimmy Beaumont, such a great singer
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:32pm
Dennis Diken:

welcome aboard Gerry From Miami! I gotta say, my opinion of MTV might be somewhat biased....

LesleyK:

That's cool you got to play with her Dennis
Avatar 2:34pm
LesleyK:

I liked Mtv alot when i was growing up-- but yes, some of those videos got way too much play and drove me a bit nuts. They also didn't play many bands that I wish they would have! but I did love 120 minutes back when i was in hs. (used to tape it every sunday)
