Warm breezes & our main man comin' out your speakers. Good 'nough for me!

Think it's 'bout time I jump back to Dino's 1966 al b um, "The Dean Martin TV Show", for a nice...easy tune. That's SURE to help youse shake off life's "agita". 

Now, let me see... Hmmmmm... So many GREAT jams on this one. I'm lookin' for a soft one, though. Gotta help my Dino-diggin' paisani put their brains on ice & just chill! Hmmmmm.... Got it! How's 'bout a nice...soothin'...dose of "What Can I say After I Say I'm Sorry?". 

I thinks this will do just PER FECT LY! 

It's slow & easy...It's gentle on the mind...IT'S COMFORTIN' TO THE SOUL, PEOPLE!!! Whoa Whoa Whoa, Danny G.! This is s'posed to be relaxin'...& I'm gettin' ALL worked up, here! Haha!! Cants help it, pallies! Dean get's me pumped!!! Ha! 

OK...chill mode, now. 

Breathe this one in, my friends. Hold it in your lungs...then let it all out. It's SURE to remedy all the day's stress. 

Oh & by the way...I is playin' two vids. One from the al b um & one live. Couldn't help myself pals! 

Stay cool, mi amici.

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

 What's up, pallies...what's shakin'? 

How's July doin' for youse? 

Good? 

Great, maybe? 

Cool! Me too! 

Cants' get me 'nough of these HOT HOT Summertime days! 

The only thin' I is missin'...And I means the ONLY thin'...is some Fun Fun & Sexy cool Matt Helm flicks! I haven't come 'cross any, this whole swingin' season! What gives?! 

Now, pals...your probably gonna ask..."Danny G...don't youse own "The Matt Helm Lounge" dvd's?!" And I is gonna answer..."OB VI OUIS LY, pallies!" But...here's the thin', mi amici. It's just SO SO much more thrillin'...& excitin'...& hysterically zany...when ALL us Dino-holics can watch together! 

Yea, I know, I know... kinda silly of me. 

But, my friends...it's the plain truth! 

I'm feelin' my happiest & mostest comforted,  knowin' that all youse,  gets to watch these GREAT GREAT & Maniacal Helmer-flicks,  as I is watchin' them myself! 

Youse dig, pals? 

I love to share Dino! It's how it should be! Right?! Definitely. 

So...All that bein' said...I thinks I have a solution. For this week's swingin' Summertime Serenade... I not only picked Dean's TOTALLY hip pool party type jam, "Marina"...I also found it set to my FAVE of FAVE Helm flicks, The Silencers" for a vid! Yes! 

The gods have come together to create this one, pallies! Marina + Silencers = TOTAL SUMMERTIME FUN!!! 

Dino is lookin' GREAT & being funny & silly as ever in this! Haha!! 

Just his facial expressions alone get me rollin'! LOL!!! 

So just sit back...relax...drink in hand & toes in some sand. It's time to pick this season up a notch! 

Ciao, pals! 

Enjoy!!!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Where Can I Go Without You?"

 Well, Hey there pallies o' mine! 

Nice to see we all made it safely through 'nother firecrackin' celebration of our independence! Actually, not much celebratin' for Danny G., this year, mi amici. Just chilled out at home, as the neighbor's fireworks scared the heck out of my poor little puppy! Ugh! 

But...our independence STILL must be greatly appreciated, pals! 

Independence to crank up MUCHO Dino-tunes, that is! Haha!! 

Now...I say it's 'bout time we REALLY kick off this Summer! Time to break out those "o-so-mellow" Dino tracks! Youse know the one's I mean, pals. The "sit back & melt into your seat" jams. 

These hot & muggy days can be physically & mentally drainin', my friends. We need Dino-replenishin'! Don't worry, pallies...I gotcha. 

I'm SURE youse all know...That it truly gives me such a COOL COOL vibe sharin' these COOL COOL tunes with my fellow Dino-holics. Week after week...month after month...& year after year! TRULY inspires me to keep the Dino-flow flowin' & keep the Dino-movement growin'! Why else would I be here?! Haha!! 

Oh & btw, pallies...I watched the John Gotti flick this week, starring' John Travolta...& man o' man...what a soundtrack! Lots o' Dino-tunes throughout the movie! He actually did a good job playin' Gotti, too. Definitely worth a watch...for the Dino-jams at least. Haha!! 

So, pals...if youse is ready...allow me to ease us into the vibe with one of Dean's super sultry Serenades. 

Today's Serenade, "Where Can I Go Without You", was plucked from my own personal FAVE Summertime Dino vinyl..."The Lush Years". Can't go wrong with ANY tune from this one, my friends! It's just pure Dino-perfection! 

Let's jump right into it! 

Let Dean take youse on his eternal flight.

He's wanderin' & wonderin'...not sure what lies ahead...just floatin'. 

Grab hold of his star, pals! Shoot through the skies with Dino! It's a never endin' journey. "Senza Fine"...without end! 

We'll do it together! Us & Dino! 

Stop for a drink on any random cloud...then we is off, 'gain! 

Hold on tight, mi amici...here we's go!!!

Danny G's SPECIAL "The Month Coolness Came to Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "A Hundred Years From Today"

 Welcome back, pals! Young & old...meek & bold...let's ALL come together & listen to this fella named Dino! Haha!! 

Hey...what a cool cool thin' to do, mi amici! He's our kinda' guy & he ALWAYS has somethin' good to say! 

Man o man...is June really slippin' away already?! 

Well, pals...I guess it's time to drop the Summer down to low gear...& just cruise. 

Gotta stretch this HOT & STICKY season out as much as we can! 

I know, I know...Some days gots youse meltin'...feelin' like a snowball on the 4th o' July! 90s can be tough! But, pallies o' mine...it's truly worth it! 

'Not many thins' I dig more than these HOT HOT days of COOL COOL outdoor Dino-tunes! Whether I'm chillin' with a friend...or floatin' 'round a pool...I ALWAYS gots Dean providin' the days soundtrack. 

Dino & Summer go together like bread & butter, pals. Let's soak it all in! After all...it's these HOT Dino-diggin' memories that is gonna keep us warm all year long, my friends!  Now...let's get to this week's Serenade! 

I've really been thinkin'...this whole month...'bout how TRULY awesome it is...that after ALL these years...ALL this time...the name Dean Martin...STILL carries SO SO much happiness, fun & respect! Man, mi amici...that's impressive to me! We STILL hear his songs on TV commercials..We STILL see his movies regularly! And even after nearly 30 years since his final bow…we is STILL flooded with new stories, tributes, & birthday wishes! 

Not to mention his very own festival...numerous impersonators...& countless new & old performers givin' thanks & showin' gratitude. 

Well, pallies...as the curtain falls on 'nother GREAT GREAT month long tribute to "The Month Coolness Came To Earth"... let's ponder if Mr. & Mrs. Gaetano Crocetti could ever have imagined, that on that GREAT GREAT & BLESSED day...June 7th, 1917...their bouncin' & swingin' baby boy...would STILL be praised..."A Hundred Years From Today"! 

Enjoy! 

Danny G's SPECIAL "Month Coolness Came to Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Somebody Loves You"

 Welcome back, ol' pals o' mine! 

Happy Summer 2024! 

Hot, sunny days are here! Yay!!! 

Hope everyone made it through our first heatwave! Man! Hot stuff, pallies...literally! Haha!! 

Now, mi amici...is it just me...or do youse worry 'bout Summer flyin' by? I know...I know...I get like this every year...'bout every season! I must be crazy! Haha!! Summer just started 2 days ago... & I'm already 'fraid of it slippin' through my Dino-diggin' fingers! Haha!! Maybe 'cause Spring seemed to sail by this year...SO SO quickly! Oh well, pals...we'll hold onto these long, muggy days...extra tight! 

OK, pallies...let's gets to some tunes! I'm thinkin' this is the PER FEC TO time to kick off the season with one of Dean's FUN FUN "Latin type" tunes, mi amici. Just the way we likes it...REAL bouncy!  

GREAT way to keep our "Month Coolness Came To Earth" vibe flowin' too! 

Now who says "Summer fun" better than Dino? No one! He's the party-master! Ha! 

Well...I guess the best place to start is ALWAYS one my FAVE summery Dino-al b ums..."Cha Cha De Amor". Yes, pals...this little vinyl Frisbee is JAM-PACKED with HOT HOT & yet VERY VERY COOL Dino-tunes. Let's grab a little "Somebody Loves You", for today's Serenade. 

This one will REALLY set the mood. 

Picture this, my friends...It's a hot...sweaty...Summer night. A little breeze keeps it tolerable, though. Youse grabs some yummy...icy...beverage of choice. Put the needle on the vinyl...& melt away with Dean. Ahhhhhh. That's good stuff, mi amici. 

Cheers to 'nother Summer with Dino, pals! 

Enjoy! 

Danny G's SPECIAL Happy Daddy-O Day Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me"

 Man o man, what a day, pallies! 

So So peaceful. 

Welcome, mi amici & a GIANT Happy Daddy-O Day, to ALL the Dino-diggin' Dads out there! A title not to be taken lightly, my friends! 

Can be hard work at times! Haha!! 

Hey, pals...it's a big responsibility for sure, but...one that I truly cherish & consider my biggest blessin' from above. 

Man...I simply LOVES the fact that Fathers Day falls right smack in the middle of these few swingin' weeks, which we have come to know as "The Month Coolness Came to Earth"! How TOTALLY cool & appropriate is that, pals?! 

Dino is like a "Father" figure to us all, in a way, my friends. Someone to help guide us through this CRAZY life of ours! Someone we can always turn to when we need a little "pick-me-up". Our rock that is ALWAYS there...through the good times...& the not so great ones, too. Now THAT sounds like a "Dad" to me, pallies! 

So, ol' friends o' mine...as I does every year...on this special day...I'm gonna play a Dino-tune that reminds me of my pop! The man who was ALWAYS there for me & NEVER faulted me for my many foolish mistakes. And there were plenty, Haha!! 

A guy who always...ALWAYS had a smile...no matter what troubles he may of had. Just a Cool Cool fella who made me feel at ease all throughout my life. Nothin' could trouble me when Dad was 'round!  

Funny how someone can give you that TOTAL comfort, huh pals? Yup...that was Dad. My first introducer of Dino! Showed me what magic this fella, Dino, possessed! Dean, like my father, gives that TOTAL comfort to us now. A feelin' that nothin' is that bad. No problem is too big that a drink & a song can't help...at least a little.That's the kind've vibe we can get from Dino! 

So, ol' pals o' mine...Happy Daddy-O Day.

Enjoy the Serenade..."Little Ol' Wine Drinker Me" & 'member those special guys today. 

They did/do a lot! 

BTW pallies...I simply couldn't resist playin' a second "live" Dino vid, as well. Dino is bein' his usual silly & crazy self & I just knew youse would dig it! 

Enjoy!

This one's for you, Pop!  

Danny G's Special "Month Coolness Came To Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "I Love You, For Sentimental Reasons"

 Welcome back, mi amici & welcome to week two of "The Month Coolness Came to Earth!" 

So, pallies, how's June treatin' youse so far? Pretty damn well here in ol' Massachusetts! Mornins' & evenins' a little chilly, but I cants complain a bit, my friends. The days are BEA U TI FUL! Amen to that! 

So as Spring is slowly slippin' through my fingers...I just gots to thinkin' 'bout what the Summer will hold. Plenty of hot & humid days for sure. Some beachin' & poolin', obviously. But what else? Knowin' myself...not too much! Haha!! 

Nah. I'm more of a chill out kinda fella. Probably the way our bestest pal, Dino was. We all read how he was more than happy just relaxin' on a golf course or watchin' TV at home. Yup, that was Dean...& that is me. 

I know...I know...I'm always lookin' for any & every little similarity 'tween Dino & myself. Haha!! But, hey! Why not?! Who better to compare to & model after? Am I right, pallies? DEFINATELY. 

And guess what else? When I'm chillin' & doin' ab so lute ly nothin'...I'm actually...usually...thinkin' 'bout this crazy life. Yea, that's me too. 

Well, pals...just so happens...that as i'm ponderin' those days & years gone by...Dean seems to be in just 'bout every thought. The background music to my life. The people I've known. The places I've gone. They all seem to somehow have Dino attached. What can I say, my friends? He's my main man! Haha!! He's my pal & my inspiration. A connectin' energy that links it ALL together. 

Today's Serenade..."I Love You, For Sentimental Reasons"...is one of those Dino-jams that goes through my thoughts all the time. Perfect background to my memories & PERFECTO to take me back to those GREAT GREAT easy goin' days. 

Let's check it out & see where it brings youse, mi amici. Maybe back to yesterday...Maybe takes you on a new journey forward! 

Either way, pallies...It's GREAT havin' Dino walkin' along with you! 

Enjoy!
