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!

I didn't think "I Saw The Light" could be covered well. I was wrong!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:22pm
Dennis Diken:

@WLSClark - Chris St. Hilaire is way talented - former drummer of the godlike London Souls! and Louise G was one of the many fine artists who contributed to the Todd A S/A trib (as did Denizen Nezrok!) - hence no cover of "Locomotion" here!

@myron feld - do you play on this Liquor Giants track?
