Well, pals...we is SO SO fortunato...that Dino has laid the blueprints for us, to do the same exact chillin'! Yup! Let me gives youse just one little example.

Now, mi amici...be warned...this tune is SO SO mellow...& SO SO smooth...youse may find yourself dazin' off into a dreamy state of TOTAL calmness, that won't be easy to shake! 

Just tell your family & friends...dog & cat...fish & parakeet..."Don't worry, pallies...I'm just chillin' with Dino & I'll catch youse later". Hahaha!!! 

Yea, my friends...this is serious tranquility here. Ha! 

OK...let's do this. 

Go grab a drink or a smoke...if that's your thin'. Find a quiet space & settle in. We is goin' on a little journey with Dean.

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino:"Amor Mio"

 Now THIS is Spring, pallies! 

Man o' man! 

The rain is gone & nothin' but BEA U TI FUL blue skies & warm, gentle breezes...just breezin' 'round! 

These are the days I live for, mi amici. Even the very air I'm breathin' today silently SCREAMS Spring! Haha!! "Silently screams?" Is that even possible, pallies? Ha! Well...that's how it feels to me, anyway. 

All a day like this needs...to be perfecto...is the soft, silky croon of our man amongst men, Dino! 

Now, my friends...I know I don't need to tell youse this...but...when you mix warm, Springtime weather...with Dean's easy-listenin', swoonin' type croon...youse just can't help but gettin' that feelin' that L.O.V.E is in the air. After all, pals...Spring IS the season of amore! 

Agree? 

Yea...no doubt. 

This is the time of year when all new & wonderful thins' start to happen, my friends. 

Start to bloom. 

Flowers...trees...and yes, even romance! Haha!! 

Well...get out there! Get out there & LIVE, pals! It's GLORIOUS! Haha!!  

OK...'nough from me. Let's get to this week's Serenade! 


Picked us a cool cool & romantico Dino-jam. 

Haven't heard this one in a lonnnng time, pals. 

I think it's gonna get all my fellow Dino-philes floatin' on air & put some stars in your eyes. Dino just has that affect on us. 

Found this one on a 1973 vinyl 45. Released on Reprise. "Amor Mio". 

It's a wee bit older...wiser...RANDIER, Dino...as our fearless leader, DMP, would say Ha! 

Can't waits' to get this one spinnin', pallies! Let it play over & over...& inhale every note! 
This is the GOOD stuff! 

Now, without further a due...Enjoy, my friends!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "The Last Time I Saw Paris"

 Well, hey there, mi amici! 

So So glad youse stopped by...on this lovely, little Spring mornin'. 

Hope everyone is in good spirits & TOTALLY absorbin' this TRULY magical combination of April & Dino croons! Such a GREAT time of year, pals! The Cool Cool vibe continues! 

This is the TRUE beginnin' of "New Years" to this fella, & I plans on keepin' it rollin' right up to we is singin' in the Summery sunshine! Ha! 


Well, pallies o' mine...just as I expected...I'm bein' lured back to Dean's COOL COOL al b um of Parisian song..."French Style". Yes, my friends...I thinks I'll hang 'round this vinyl work of art, just a little bit longer. 

These drizzly days & this record just seem to pull me in. 

They set the Springtime stage. 

One compliments the other, I think. 


So, my fellow Dino-holics...who better than our main dude, Dean...to make a cloudy day shine...& how better than with a little "The Last Time I Saw Paris"?! 

This is EXACTLY the serenadin' we need to REALLY get the vibe of this AWESOME season rollin', my friends! 


Now the only wee, little, tiny, miniscule, problemo...was I couldn't choose which Dino-vid to play! Yes, pals...I was havin' a Dino-dilemma. My first choice is ALWAYS a live...from Dean's show...chillin' on his couch, croon. 

These are my personal faves. 

But, pals...it's a short version. Only 'bout a minute. 

Now...I ob vi ous ly want to share as much Dino-croonin' as possible. So do I go with the full studio-recorded jam...or with the very suave but short live vid?! 

Well, ladies & gentlemen...I'm SURE youse already knows how I roll. 

Only really one thin' to do. 

OK...let's say it all together..."PLAY BOTH VIDS"!!! Haha!! 

Yup! 

DEF I NATE LY! 


So, my fellow Dino-diggin' Parisians...never mind the clouds! 

Forget the sprinkles & downpours! 

It's SPRING! 

Dino got this! 

Enjoy!!!
