Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "If I Had You"

 Hey, pals o mine! What's doin'? 

Youse gettin' mentally prepped for the upcomin' Turkey feast? 

Yea, my friends...I guess we's can start thinkin' 'bout it now. Only a few weeks away.

Time to start the blowin' & rakin', too! Ugh. DEF I NATE LY not one of my fave outdoor activities! Haha!! O well, mi amici. Least we got our main man, Dean, to bring along! 

Won't be so bad with some cool cool...Fall type Dino-tunes...flowin' in my ear. Youse know the kind I mean...dont'cha, pals? Well...let me pick us a jam to get that flow started. 

Hmmmm. Maybe I could jump back to "The Dean Martin Show" al b um. That one never leaves my turntable, it seems. 

There's a few perfect pics for a day like this...in a month like this...& for a job like this. How's 'bout we start thins' off with some "If I Had You"? 

OK, pals! Sounds like a "leaf rakin'" plan! 

The one small problem, pallies... Sometimes...just sometimes...these easy flowin' jams get me in such a chilled out mood...I ends up pourin' up some vino & just chillin' with Dino! Hahaha!!! 

O well, my friends...nothin' wrong with that! Leaves ain't goin' anywhere! They can wait. Ha! 

Maybe I'll just stay inside, where its nice & warm. Maybe I'll just call that neighborhood kid who rakes leaves! Haha! Yes! Now THAT sounds even better! I thinks I just had me a Dino-revelation! Haha!! I'll let youse decide for yourselves, mi amici. 

O and let's not forget a BIG Happy Veterans Day, pals! Gots to give Dino-thanks to ALL those who've defended & protected this great country of ours! And those who still do today! 

Grazie! 

OK, pallies...we gots work to do!!! Maybe. Haha!!

Man o man...the days are movin' by SO SO fast! 

Holidays are creepin' up! 

Nights & mornins' are gettin' colder...& days & sun rays seem to be growin' older. 

Actually, pals...it's been...dare I say it..."Spring-like", 'round here lately! 70's! Even 80's!!! Yea, it's been crazy. Well, I ain't complainin', mi amici. I'll take it! But still...it's definately Fall. Leaves are now brown, crunchy messes & everything is goin' into hybernatin'mode. Maybe a few of us might be feelin' those "Change of Season Blues"! 

I'll be honest...I already miss October! 

Loves my tricks n' treats! Haha!! 

Well guess what?! Our MAIN MAN Dino ain't leavin' us hangin'!!! 

No way!! 

Not while "The Deans" in charge! Haha! 

Todays's Serenade is one of the MOSTEST...AB SO LUTE EST...IN SPI RA TION AL tunes youse may EVER hear, pallies! I grabbed this BEA U TI FUL little number off Dino's 1959 al b um "Sleep Warm". Which...by the ways...was put to vinyl with the help of his bestest pallie, Frankie, conductin'. Cool Cool stuff, mi amici! 

"Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams" is SURE to LIFT those dreary hearts & shoo away those cloudy & gray Pre-Holiday moods. 

Can't help but be happy hearin' Dean weave his spell! Magical is the ONLY way I can thinks to describe it, pallies! Easy flowin...charismatic charm. 

If this don't cheer youse up pals...man...I DON'T knows WHAT to do!!! Shock treatment maybe???!!! Hahaha! Don't fear pals...I'm SURE this will do the trick! 

So hang in there, my friends. Life IS good & 'member ALL thins' shall pass! 

Most of all...'member that Dean is on your side & NOTHIN' can mess with that!

I can just picture Count Dino roamin' the halls of his castle...tryin' to decide what tuxedo to wear to tomorrows Monster Ball...jammin' to "Blue Moon". Or maybe, Dr. Frankenstein, workin' feverishly in his laboratory..."A Real Live Girl" softly playin' in the background ...creatin' the perfect cool cool swingin' fella! Pieces of this guy...parts of 'nother! 'Til finally...ALIIIIIVE!!!  DINO!!! HE'S ALIVE!!! Hahaha!!! Follow me, pals? 

All youse need now, is the perfecto jam to set the soundtrack to your own Dino-ween type scene...& man o man...gets ready for some seriously creepy cool frights!

A full moon slowly rises in the Autumn sky...a young couple strollin' through a wooded path...Crack! What's that noise?! They start to walk faster! GRRRRRRRR... O my God! What is that?! Now they is runnin'! Somethins' right behind them! Dear God, what is it?!!! (Insert woman's scream here)Aaaaaaaaa!!!! A DINO-WOLF!!!! Haha!! Did I scare youse, pallies?! 

Sounds like stuff that's a typical Halloween for your average swingin' kinda  Cool Cool werewolf, to me, pals! 

Hey, mi amici...as the sayin' goes... "Even a fella who is pure of heart, & drinks his Scotch on the rocks by night...may become a wolf, when the ladies stroll by & the moon is full & bright!" 

Now THAT'S scary! Haha!!

Allow me to introduce myself...I am Count Danny G-ula! Ahhhhh Hahahaha!!!! 

Did I sound creepy, pals? 

Did youse feel that evil laugh? 

Did youse catch the Transylvanian accent?! Hahaha!!! 

Just tryin' to set the stage here, pallies. After all, mi amici...Halloween is gettin' EERILY close & the vibe is in the air now. 

Vampires, Werewolves & all the creatures of the night are gettin' ready to get down at the closest Monstery Bash! Haha!! 

Now, my little Dino-diggin' grave diggers...speakin' of thins' that go bump in the night...Every year as I gets into all the scary movies playin'...I simply cants' help but picturin' our main man, Dino, dressin' up as the creepy Count himself! 

Yes, pals! 

He's definitely gots the right look for it. 

Tall, Dark & Devilishly handsome. 

Definitely gots the suave coolness for it. 

And  AB SO LUTE LY would have NO problemo pickin' up mucho vampy-type chicks for his vampy-type brides! Hahaha!!! 

So...let's picture this. Count Dino is layin' 'round his castle. Bored & Lonely. Wantin' for some company of the female type. 

Yea, sure...he's got his un-dead ladies of the night. But their so lame these days. "Mezza morta!"..."Half dead!" What our Cool Cool Count is cravin'...is some action! Some hot blood pumpin' through some feisty chicalinas veins! 

Thinks it's 'bout time our pal sprouts his bat wings & flys on over to the nearest pick-up joint  & gets' himself "A Real Live Girl"! Haha!! 

Lovin' this Serenade , my friends! 

It even has that "old school" CREEPY, vinyl sound to it. 

Get ready, pallies!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "We Open In Venice"

 Hey pals! 

Whataya' say?! 

Welcome back, one & all! 

Man...this kooky spooky month is sure feelin' CRAZY! I swear to youse...the older I get...the crazier life seems to me! 

Am I nuts?! 

Yea...probably, pallies. Haha!! 

Oh well...seems that way to me…I mean no more Christopher Columbus parade, pals?! What's that all 'bout?!

Now, friends o' mine...I ALWAYS believe in includin' one & all. These parades are for everyone! Celebratin' our awesome country...how lucky we is to be here...& who led the way. That's it. No need to go any deeper than that...in my opinion, anyway. 

Well, pals...likes I said...life is feelin' crazy these days. 

Anyways…they actually started an "Italian Heritage Parade & Festival", in it's place. It was last week & was even better, so whatever, Haha!  

So...with that bein' said...I know some of my fellow paisani might be feelin' a little upset, pushed aside & longin' for a Dino-jam that is LOTS O" FUN & may have an Italiano type flair. 

Somethin' we can ALL jam to together. 

I'm thinkin' that's I is gonna get one of those "quick quick" kinda jams playin' today. Youse know...to keep the blood pumpin'.  A real upbeat tempo sorta Serenade for the week! After all, pals...last week's tune was so so calmin' & soothin'...I gotta wake youse back up! I don't wants my Dino-lovin' posse fallin' 'sleep on me! Hahaha!!! 

OK OK...no need for hysterics here, pals. 

I'll go easy. Nothin' crazy. 

Just tryin' to have a little fun here, folks. Ha! 

Now todays Dino-jam...in keepin' with the spooky, "Dino-ween-vibe"... was actually inspired by a COOL COOL show I caught a few "pre-pandemic" years ago. 

It was called "The Rat Pack Undead"! Hahaha!!! 

Man o man, pallies...was it FUN! 

So guess what jam came on my radio the other day?! Today’s Serenade… of course! Haha!!

It was an AWESOME show, pals!

Dino, Frank & Sam, in full zombie make-up! All the lyrics were altered to fit the occasion! "Ain't That a PICK in the Head"..."Come DIE with Me"..."What Kind of GHOUL Am I?"...Haha...youse gets the picture, pals. Anyways, it was a GREAT time & I HIGHLY rec-o-mends youse Googlin' the show to see if they is still 'round & comin' to your locale. 

So, mi amici...this week's tune simply HAS to include the WHOLE Pack! Yup...Frank & the Sam man jump in on this one...& REALLY makes it swing! 

"We Open in Venice" reminded me of that fun fun show & will DEFINATELY stick in your head all day, my friends. Its catchy chorus really pulls youse in! 

Youse can hear the good good time in their voices. 

Always laughin' & foolin'!  Partyin' together...One & All! 

Man o man...did they know how to party! I WANNA BE THERE!!! Haha!! 

Oh well, palsies...I can dream, can't I? 

Enjoy & Happy Columbus Day to ALL!!!

Anyways, pals...I musta summoned the ghost of Dean himself...'cause all of a sudden... it hit me! 

"Blue Moon"! 

I just looked out my window, a few nights ago, & there it was! A gloriously...devlishly...Dino-fied glowin' moon! Half covered by clouds & illuminatin' like a giant lightbulb. 

Now, I don't know 'bout youse...But I can't thinks' of ANYTHIN' that gives me more of a thrill... & a FUN FUN chill... than a BIG...BRIGHT...lunar vision...on a COOL COOL October night! 

I LOVES it, pallies! 

OK, my friends...let's get into this scary & excitin' season with some LIVE Dino!

Or "Un-dead" Dino...seems more appropriate for this spooky time o' year. Haha!! 

Time to have some FRIGHTFUL fun times with our ghostly pal! 

Beware the moon... you Dino-holics! Hahaha!!!
