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!

Lesley, saw the There are but... album. I told him I had the album in the car ('cause I didn't want to hold it all show) but I didn't need an autograph because I had the show itself to remember. He said, all excitedly, "go get it!" So I did and he signed it. A great guy.

Anyone know who the answering voice is on "Pretty Good Love?" Doesn't sound like Mickey Baker -- I'm stumped.
Avatar 2:36pm
Jon Graboff:

Speaking of Erics. Is anyone else hearing Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric constantly on some TV ad? I sure hope he and Ms. Rigby are seeing some serious scratch!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:38pm
myron feld:

@Jon: yes it's an Expedia ad. Was hoping same!
Avatar 2:39pm
Eric R:

myron, my first thought was Ray Charles. Did he and Maybelle ever work together?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:42pm
Dennis Diken:

@myron feld - Mickey Baker is on the Big Maybelle session so it might be him. @Eric R - couldn't say if it's Ray - he isn't mentioned on the CD I have. my guess is MB?
Avatar 2:44pm
LesleyK:

@Jon, yes i heard that song on a commercial recently too! what was it for?
Avatar 2:44pm
Eric R:

Dennis, probably right, Mickey.
Avatar 2:44pm
LesleyK:

ah yes Expedia
Avatar 2:44pm
LesleyK:

Wreckless Eric just played in NYC about a week or so ago, i sadly missed it
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
myron feld:

I found another personnel listing with "unknown male (speech)." Mickey had a smoother voice but maybe he roughed it up to match Maybelle.

I'm seeing pledges coming in and it's much appreciated!! I'll shout out to you all next week! love to you, my Denizens!

@Dano59 - yeah, don't know either but there are some fine cuts on that Juliana album. @Jon Graboff - at your service!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:09pm
Dennis Diken:

@Jon Graboff - it's a bit of a "message" song for the Marathon!!

Jon Graboff:

@Dennis Diken. You are nearby pardoned with the BB's track!
Avatar 3:10pm

maybe my favorite Beach Boys LP.

Eric R: I was pumped to see Mac open for (and play with) Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets on the first Quality Holiday Revue tour, but alas he died suddenly on the first day of the tour. He's pictured on the T-shirt! Cactus Blossoms were the replacement.

This Michael Shelley track sure sounds familiar!

those 2 for 1 Beach Boys CDs are so great. They caught me up on the discography. Dano, yeah, it was shocking. He was so vital.

@Jon Graboff - did you wail on this MS track? is that you on fuzz?

Jon, I first noticed that artists had themes to their songs with the Shirelles. Will You Love Me Tomorrow, Tonight's the Night, I Met Him on a Sunday. I was a kid then and I thought "of course, makes perfect sense".

i just checked the Juliana sings Olivia CD that i have-- that song is NOT on there

Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:37pm
Dennis Diken:

@myron - have you seen VG&NH?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:38pm
myron feld:

A few years ago at a Nighthawks gig, I told Andy how that album introduced me to so many cover songs (like "Midnight Shift") that I didn't know of prior to that record. He replied, "I hadn't heard them, either, til i was in the band!"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
myron feld:

so yes, i've seen Vince et al many times. They are fantastic! I urge all Denizens to see them.
