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:

Aw gee, Denny! You gotta split early? Been a few weeks since I've been able to listen in. Was just watching Rick Beato on YouTube do a breakdown analysis of Tears for Fears' "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Great song that's somewhat more structurally dense than it seems once you uncover the layers of complexity. I can see, so far, that your song choices today will probably be more basic and visceral than that 80s classic. Tears for Fears, BTW, has just released their first album in 17 years! Lovin' the immediacy of your show, as always!

Hey, woo and MOM WHIG! Great to see you guys!

DENNY, a little chill in Milwaukee, I would assume. Say "HI" to Laverne and Shirley if you run into them!

Gerry from Miami:

Great to hear Steve Alaimo! He was radio royalty here in Miami when I was growing up in Ft. Lauderdale. "Every Day I Have to Cry Some" was a charttopper for him on WQAM-560.

Dennis Diken:

@Gerry - love me some Alaimo!

This Acklin tune is actually "Soulful Strut" by Young-Holt Unlimited, right, Todd-o-Phonic Todd?

Yes, same backing track

Sadly, the Exciters never came close to duplicating their great success with "Tell Him." First just the three ladies, then they added a male member

Gerry from Miami:

Whenever I hear Del Shannon, I always think of the first song I ever heard by him, "Hat's Off to Larry." And, of course, Del's passing just as he was about to replace Roy Orbison in the Traveling Wilburys. Would have made a great addition to the band.

This Cowsills album, Global, is outstanding. What a voice on Susan.
  3:49pm
Gerry from Miami:

Had a friend in college who idolized the Searchers. I would run into him on campus, the latest issue of NME tucked tightly under his arm. He usually had a bag of British imported 45s as well. He would regale me about all the latest happenings in Engiand's pop scene. I had scant money to buy records in those days, but he generously played his precious discs for me in his dorm room. It was a great opportunity to supplement Beatlemania and the super-repetitive playlists on Philadelphia Top 40 stations at that time.
