Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "A Winter Romance"

 Well, hey there, ol' pallies o' mine! 

How's thins' in your part of the world? 

Hopefully all is well & the new year is goin' smooth. 

So, pals...youse know that sayin', "Ask & youse shall receive."? Well, mi amici...Do youse thinks it's true? 

Do youse think Dino can help? 

Did he pull a few strings, from above, and got us a couple 50 degree days?! 

Sure enough...soon as last week's post was posted...we gots 'em! A little taste of June in January. Haha!! It's the truth, my friends! 

Does he ACTUALLY stop by our humble little blog?!?! Hahaha!!! Well...we'll see, pals. 

I guess it's like that OTHER sayin'..."Youse never know". 

Anyways, my friends...it's got me thinkin'. No matter what the weather is outside...we can ALWAYS be nice & comfy cozy...when Dino is swoonin' us & croonin' us! It's a magical thin', really. How Dean's jams can take us away. 

Bring us to a different place. A different time...with just a simple song.  A simple tune on a simple Winter day! 

But...pals...the magic isn't the fact that it's a warm January day. Nope. The MAGIC is the ability to be in COLD & FRIGID temperatures and yet maintain a certain level of HOT & FIERY fever!  

Am I soundin' like I is probably halfway to losin' my mind??!! Haha!! No...I'm alright, pallies.

It IS possible to be COLD...& HOT...& COOL...ALL at the same time! Yes, It's true! Dino has achieved the unimaginable! He's BROKEN & COMPLETELY OBLIVERATED all laws of Science!!!  

Quick! Call me a doctor! I feel faint! Haha!! Just kiddin'! Anyways, pals...Today's Serenade...the title track from "A Winter Romance", will PROVE my latest theory in Dino-ology! If somethin' gets youse SO SO fired up & hot...even though it may be freezin' outside...youse just cants help but feel warm, cozy, calm & collected...with a Dino-jam flowin' in the air. 

Capeesh?

OK, good. Haha!! I rest my case. 

Enjoy.

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "June In January"

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!!!

 Welcome back, pals! How's it swingin'? 

I mean your Dino-Winter Month, of course! Haha!! 

Hope youse is absorbin' as much of Dean's Christmasy croonin' as humanly possible, pallies. We only gots a few weeks...& it's all over!

Waaaaaaa!!! Gonna miss all these holiday Dino-tunes!!! Waaaaaa!!! What's a Dino-Winter Month-aholic to do, pallies?! Waaaaa!!! Waaaaa!!! 

Hey....wait just a croonin' Dino-minute, (sniff sniff)!!! 

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!
