Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

 Wooooo Hoooooo!!! 

Happy Dino-Year 2026!!! Well...almost...Haha!! 

Man o man...what a whirlwind it's been, pals!!! I'm not even sure what DAY it is...never mind the year! Hahaha!!! Thins' have been so so crazy durin' these last couple weeks...my Mondays seem like Fridays & Wednesdays are like Saturdays!!! Man! 

Anyway...we made it! 

Dino lead us through the thick & thin of 2025. Some good...some not so great. But guess what, mi amici! It's time to start fresh!!! And...my friends...I'm POS I TIVE Dino will help swing us into the BEST year yet! 

Now pals...I'm SURE I've shared my crazy little New Years tradition with all youse cool cool Dino-philes many times. Every year actually, haha...But...it's just one of those VERY special little thins' that I loves sharin' with all my fellow Dino-holics or maybe a new Dino-digger, to our blog. So....here it is, 'gain. 

This was actually somethin' my Nanna G. would do with my bro & I on New Years Eve, while Mom & Pop were out dancin' & celebratin'. 

Soon as the BALL fell...as soon as Midnight struck...she would lead us to the front door... & open it up...lettin' the old year out...& the new year in! Haha!  We got such a KICK outta this yearly routine as kids, that I STILL do it to this very day, Haha! 

Nanna was such a SWEET & FUN lady! My earliest memories of Dean were actually with her & I wathchin' Martin & Lewis flicks in her parlor. 

Yes sir pallies...that's where it ALL began! I knew there & then...that I was a tried & true Dino-holic! Ha! 

Ok, pals...let's get the very last Sunday Serenade of 2025 spinnin'! 

What do youse say we bid farewell with a little somethin' from the "Winter Romance" al b um? I'm thinkin' some "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" will be PERFECTO to ease us into a new wintery season...as well as a COOL COOL NEW YEAR! 

Well, mi amici...let's ALL thinks of the message Nanna G. was tryin' to instill in our young minds.  Let your old worries go...leave them in the past...And enjoy life from today goin forward! 

Dean spreads the same vibe to me now & EVERYDAY! 

Let's make this a GREAT year pallies! 

Dino's at our side & he's leadin' the way! 

OK ol' pals o' mine...turn it up & raise a glass to the good times to come! 

This one's with you in mind, Nanna! 

Salute & Happy Dino-year!!!

I ALMOST forgot (sniff sniff)!!! 

The only thin' that happens...is(sniff)...Dino-Winter Month simply transitions into Dino-Winter SEASON!!! YAY!!! Parrrr-tayyyy!!! 

So basically..."Christmassy" Dino-jams simply & naturally evolve into "Wintery" Dino- jams! Sounds good to me, mi amici! 

Whew! Feelin' MUCH better now, mi amici! 

Don't knows why I forget this progression, every year. Either I is gettin' old or sippin' on too many martinis lately! Haha!! 

So, my friends...relax. Dean's snowy tunes will keep us on ice 'til the first signs of Spring! Hallelujah!!! What a guy! 

He'd NEVER abandon us right smack in the middle of this crazy & chilly season! 

Actually...Winter hasn't even officially started yet! 

Man o' man...we still gots PLENTY of time for these type o' tunes! Cool! 

Anyways, pallies...this time of year always gets me in a melancholy mood. You too? 

Get's me thinkin' back to my younger days. 

I still laugh to myself 'bout all the crazy thins' that have happened over the years. 

I reminisce 'bout all the peeps that have come & gone. REALLY gets me longin' for those olden times & Christmases gone by. 

Man, mi amici...what I wouldn't give to be back there, now...just for a bit. Hug my Dad...give my Nanna a BIG kiss...be foolish with my friends. Just be young & free of worry, once 'gain. I guess we ALL wouldn't mind that huh, pals? 

Well...guess what, my friends?! 

Deans gonna help us do just that! 

Today's Serenade, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", is that ONE special song that REALLY takes me back there. Takes me back to those WONDERFUL days! 

I'm hopin' that it will bring ALL youse, pals o' mine, some GREAT GREAT memories of this GREAT GREAT season, as well!  

Stay safe & Enjoy!
