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!

Man, The Zombies were great! Shoulda had a lot more hits.

When they broke up they all got regular jobs for awhile.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:16pm

yeah myron, I'm all about my Francis!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:18pm
Gaylord Fields:

Hi, Dennis!

@Reechie: The Zombies had three US hits, one-hit wonders in their native land! By rights, they should have had about seven hits.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:18pm
myron feld:

that baritone guitar (or Bass VI, what do I know?)
  2:18pm
captain mike:

Connie’s “Eighteen” (not to be confused with Vincent Furnier’s version) is probably one of the most erotic vocal ever Hi all you vinylophiles
  2:20pm
Dudski:

Kaemfert was in the German Navy in WW2. Played in a band up in Norway or somewhere.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:20pm
Dennis Diken:

Gaylord, alright! let's get this party started! you got that right captain mike, almost played that one...

Do you have a drum kit nearby? Get out those brushes!

Wild Honey:

Hiya Dennis, Gaylord, and friends. So happy to hear Concetta Francis on this lovely snowy day! What a set of pipes
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:23pm
Dennis Diken:

@Dudski, javolle? "I did not know that" @CM - can play brushes on any surface (almost), who needs drums!

Gaylord Fields:

Wild Honey!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:25pm
Dennis Diken:

hey Wild Honey! we need more Connie Francis in these troubled times!
  2:26pm
captain mike:

Do you remember Gene Krupa doing a drum effect with two matches in Barbara Stanwyck flick way back when? Talk about versatile!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:28pm
Dennis Diken:

yes CM! I saw that not long ago! wild!
  2:31pm
captain mike:

Thinking Connie’s “Don’t Ever Leave Me” maybe her best side yet she always looked somewhat “troubled” in her cinematic roles.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:34pm
Dennis Diken:

indeed my captain, that is a great Connie cut. I'm a sucker for "Where The Boys Are" as well. ditto "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own" and some others too
  2:38pm
captain mike:

I hate to admit it but I’m the same way about Annette Funicello For some perverse reason I always used to request the Beach Boys/Annette movie theme blockbuster theme “The Monkey’s Uncle” at every Detroit Cobras show I used to attend for reasons that have escaped me now
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:45pm
Dennis Diken:

hey captain - that's ok by me!

Enjoying the show Dennis. I was taking a nap then woke up startled that I was missing Denny's Den.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:50pm
Dennis Diken:

hey captain - at least you know what the cause is! how about when you have "hotscakes?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:53pm
Dennis Diken:

ha! welcome Woo! it's not a dream!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:54pm
Gaylord Fields:

@captain mike: "Don't Ever Leave Me" is my favorite Connie track! "We Have Something More," its flip side, is equally as glorious in a different way. Also love "I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter" for its twisting by the fireside good cheer!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:54pm
Woo:

I love Horace Silver and I thank Irwin Chusid for introducing me to his swinging sounds. And thank you too Dennis.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:56pm
Gaylord Fields:

I also dig "Many Tears Ago" — likely not her whistling, but I choose to imagine otherwise!
  2:56pm
captain mike:

We are blessed by Paul Henning Have you ever dug the Petticoat Junction episode with Dennis Hopper playing a younger smarmier “poet” version of his photographer character in Apocalypse Now?
Pure Genius beyond it’s time frame!

The Great Gaylord! It’s a far out fun fest get sure!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:59pm
Dennis Diken:
