It's calm...it's tranquil...it's...well...IT"S PURE DINO!!! Haha!! 

Pulled it from my own personal "Go to" place for ULTIMATE chillin'! Dean's 1966 al b um, "Relaxin". 

"Let Me Know" will DEF I NATE LY... gently...glide youse into these comin' cool, crisp days ahead. 

Sit back & close your eyes, pallies. Dino's at the wheel & he's on cruise control. 

Let's embrace Autumn & see what Dean has in store for us next! 

It's gonna be a GREAT Fall, pals...just hit PLAY & relax.

Hey...now that I thinks 'bout it...I'm gettin' pumped for these next couple months! And Not to mention...this comin' week marks the birthday of a VERY VERY special friend o' mine...who just so happens to be a GIGANTIC Dino-holic! 

Hey! That gives me a SWINGIN' idea, pallies! 

I is gonna send this week's Serenade out to my friend & let her know just how SPECIAL she is! 

Seems that birthdays kinda get her feelin' a wee bit blue. 

She DEF I NATE LY has NUTHIN' to worry 'bout, though pals. She's a GREAT GREAT lady & STILL has ALL the wolves howlin'! If youse knows what I mean. Haha!! Thinks she just needs a little Dino-croonin' to lift her spirits. Yes! 

Now let me see...hmmmm. What tune sums her up? 

Got it! 

A touch of Dean's "You Were Made For Love", should get her smilin'! DEF I NATE LY get's me smilin', pallies! Ha! 

So, this one's for you...birthday girl! 

Enjoy your day & enjoy the Dino-jam... goin' out just for you!  

Ciao bella!

Danny G's SPECIAL "Laborin' with Dino" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Fools Rush In"

 Welcome back mi amici! 

Nice of youse to stop by. 

Well, here we are, pallies...Labor Day weekend. Man o man...where do the days go?! 

Even months fly by like weeks! 

Hey, pals...if I gots to be honest though...Summer is hot & fun & I really dig the beach goin' & pool chillin'......BUT...I'm kinda anticipatin' the Fall season! 

As youse all know...I AB SO LUTE LY love that "spooky" vibe in the air! Haha! We'll gets more into that stuff soon. 

Hey pallies...I'm not sure if the beginnin' of September is bringin' some swingin' & singin' at some jammin' cook outs or hustlin' & bustlin', movin' boxes into some college dorm room...but I do knows' thins' might get a wee bit hectic. 

Let's do this Labor Day, Dino-style...& chill out a wee bit! I'm bettin' we could ALL use a little relaxin'.  

For today's Serenade, thinks' I'm gonna ask our BESTEST pal, Dean, to start windin' this Summery season down with some COOL COOL & VERY laid back croonin'. 

"Fools Rush In' should set the Dino-mood so so PER FEC TO! Real mellow & calmin’ ,pals. 

Now, this tune has been sung many many times by many many singers, pallies. But...NO ONE & I mean friggin' NO ONE can turn it into PURE PURE tranquility likes our pal! 

So...when the grills have burned out...& everythin' is cleaned up & put away...Find yourselves some "alone" time. Just youse & Dean. Pour up a little vino & soak this one in. 

Happy Dino-Laborin', pallies! 

Ahhhh serenity. 

Enjoy.

 Hey pals! It's Sunday! 

Now...that can mean only ONE thin'!

Hey...guess what?! No problem! We're still partyin' with our pallie! Summer ain't over yet, my friends! We gots PLENTY of HOT HOT days ahead! Now simply add a little Dino-croonin' to the mix...& thins' will keep on SIZZLIN'!  

Anyways, pals o' mine...I is gonna play a tune that I plucked off of Dean's 1973 al b um... "Sittin' On Top Of The World". Actually, pallies... I heard it a couple days ago...while cruisin' 'round...just mindin' my own business. Haha!! 

"Hey Danny G...What's the jam???", youse ask? "It's A Good Day". 

Now let me tell youse, mi amici...soon as I heard this number...I was INSTANTLY put in a GREAT mood & found myself smilin' from ear to ear! Haha!! I'm serious, pals! It had that effect on me! 

It's a PURE & TRUE hidden gem & def i nate ly PURE & TRUE Dino-magic! SO SO much fun listenin' to a "1970's Dino" doin' his thin' on this cool cool number! 

Thinks I'll put it on REPEAT! 

Now THAT is what Summer is ALL 'bout! Over-indulgin' in Dino! Hahaha!!! 

Hey! Let's make us a Cool Cool Concoction, pals! Just grab a beverage o' choice...maybe a pallie or two...get outside, in this summery weather...& throw on some Smooth Smooth Swingin' jams by Dino! 

This one will do perfectly! 

Nice...simple equation, pals. 

Never forget...We is Dino-holics...we'll keep the party goin’!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Home"

 Welcome back, mi amici. 

Home sweet home! 

To us, Dino-diggers...anyway. 

A home away from home & a place to hang our hats...at day's end. A quick stop...just to chill & collect our thoughts. Soak in the good & the "not so good thins'", that the day has shown. 

Maybe...just a place to clear your minds & listen to some cool cool Dino-jams. 

I'm hopin' that's what ilovedinomartin.com & the Sunday Serenades with Dino are to ALL the lovers of Dino out there. I know it is for me, mi amici. 

I thinks we ALL can use a place like that. Youse 'gree, pals? 

Just a comfy little spot to relax & catch our breaths. 

Yup...sounds good to me. 

So, my friends...as we float our way through Summer...let's start to thinks 'bout the nice...peaceful times...that Dean brings our way. Everyday. Every week. Every year. 

How lucky we are, my friends...to have Dino & a place like this, to call "Home". Our own place. Away from the world's chaos. To just drift...& let life's stress melt away. Just for a moment or two. 

So...all that in mind...let's sit back...clear our thoughts....& float away. 

This is 'nother fave o' mine, off Dino's "The Dean Martin Show", vinyl masterpiece..."Home".  

Enjoy the Serenade, pals. 

Dino had the right idea for sure!

"Though fortune may forsake me...sweet dreams will ever take me home". 

Ahhhhh, so true, pallies. 

Ciao. 

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "In A Little Spanish Town"

Whatever time it is that youse is able to stop by our little, wee Dino-waterin' hole...Welcome! 

Man! Relief! The heat is finally lettin' up 'round my neck o' the woods! 

Not a minute too soon either, mi amici! I felt like I've been meltin'! 

I don't likes to squawk...'cause I know some spots are MUCH worse than my 90s...but man o man, pallies...it's been bloody HOT!!! Haha!!  Anyways...thins' is coolin' off. For the time bein', at least. 

So...palsies o' mine...youse know how I ALWAYS says that Dino's "French Style" al b um, just seems to go SO SO well with the Springtime season? Well, my friends...it just so happens that our bestest of best bro, Dino, also has us a swingin' piece o' vinyl that is simply PER FEC TO for the hot & humid...sweaty & sultry, dog days o' Summer! Yup! Let's me introduce youse to yet 'nother one of Danny G's FAVE o' FAVES al b ums for these lazy days & balmy nights..."Dino Latino"! Amen! Hahaha!!!

Well, let's not talk snowflakes yet, pallies...they'll creep in soon 'nough! Blah!

So...without further a due...lets top off our martinis & soak in the Dino-flow!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Buttercup, A Golden Hair"

 Well, say there, pals! 

What it is! What it was! What it might have been! Haha!! 

Man...I thinks this crazy world has finally gots to me! I've found myself babblin'...on & on...incoherently...all week! Hahaha!!! 

Maybe my brain is gettin' a wee bit toasted, pals! Haha!! 

Actually...PICKLED would be more appropriate! Ha! 

OK...'nough foolishness. Let's talk a little bit 'bout what WAS & let's get to the Dino-tunes! 

Now, pallies...I simply HAD to use this week's COOL COOL Dino-jam for today's Serenade! It's for a sad event that I thinks 'bout & share, here at our Dino-blog, every year. 

Today, August 4th, marks the very unpleasant anniversary of the passin' of a very special lady...a very special girl-pallie of our Dino's. Marilyn Monroe.  

It's been 62 years since she took her final bow. Shame, pals. Was a fun & talented young soul. 

But...I believe in celebratin' what WAS...rather than cryin' over what WASN'T. 

"Buttercup A Golden Hair" is set to her & our pals flick, that never came to be..."Something's Got to Give". It featured Dino alongside a very lovely & naked Marilyn! Haha!! Fresh! 

Looks like it would have been a FUN FUN Dino-flick for sure! Such a shame it just wasn't meant to be, my friends. They both looked so good in this vid & youse could see the chemistry & friendship they shared. Bittersweet to watch, pallies. 

BUT...let's be thankful for what's we got's, pals! A Great Great tune & vid that's PERFECTO for a Great Great Summer night! 

R.I.P MM. 

Thanks for the memories.
