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!

Phil Seymour! I really LOVED The Dwight Twilley Band and worked with them at Arista, although I was still a secretary so didn't get to do their PR at that time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:26pm
Dennis Diken:

yeah Gaylord, Sonny did a great appearance on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast a few years back. hi Melani!

Hambone (Sandy) used to introduce a bit of wisdom on a board before dancing away. Gems like: “Cut your grass, so bugs can pass!”

I loved Hambone's shtick — and I'm saddened that practically none of Sandy Becker's show survives on tape or even kinescope (live TV and all).

Ever see “The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t?” A real weird entry directed and starring Rosano Brazzi and features not only Sonny Fox, but Birthday House host Paul Tripp!

Been listening while working. Rolled in right during the Phil Seymour track. Without sounding to corny, those first LPs of his are quite "precious to me."

@Chris B: and they used to advertise it on Paul Tripp's Birthday House, which aired on NBC. I always remember Santa intoning in a very deep and sad voice, "Christmas isn't coming this year!"

Your show really gets me through my Wed. afternoon work days! So good, thank you!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:39pm

@ChrisB.: The ad for that movie ran nonstop when it was released: "Christmas is not coming this year." And I was a huge fan of Birthday House!

When my cousin asked Little Richard to sign something, he would only do it if she prayed with him, which she did. By the cigarette machine.

Birthday House devotees: the commercials i recall most from that show (other than "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't") was Progresso Chickaina Soup ("Chic-chic-chic-a-rina soooooup....") and Gimbel's shop at home upholstery service.

I believe that Little Richard event happened at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence. The cigarette machine would later be stolen by two guys dressed as repairmen.
