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!

Gerry from Miami:

I knew you could verify that one for us, DENNY. And it truly was your namesake as a member of the Moody Blues prior to his career with Paulie and his Wings. I am a fan of how Kieth Emerson and the Nice handled that great Hardin tune as well.

I still wish Roy, George and Tom were still alive and had brought Del into the Wilburys, as was planned. But fate dealt a cruel hand to that supergroup. Darn!

@Gerry from Miami - yeah, it seems that Del would have been such a good fit for the Wilburys!

@Jon Graboff - ay, but Jeff and Del had a deep mutual admiration thing. woulda been a good dynamic...
  2:35pm
Gerry from Miami:

@Jon Graboff. Every member of the Wilburys brought something special to the band. Jeff Lynne has some real talents that made that group so exceptional. But I do understand your sentiments. And I often forget that Mr. Dylan was a Wilbury too!!

Here's something I found online: "Urban legend has it that Wayne doesn't like to talk about his music life at all and will slam the phone down or the door in your face if you mention his previous career."

This kinda sounds like a Thom Bell production. Is it?
Avatar 3:00pm
Jon Graboff:

"Back in the early 90's, I got Wayne's number when he was living in Big Bear, and I gave him a call. When I asked him about his Bigsby, he said it was out in the garage and he made it really clear that he didn't want to talk about it and that he wasn't enjoying our conversation"
