Likes gotta 'fess up that the cover art of "Houston" with all those groovy Dino-poses is likes one of my most fav LP al-b-um Dino-covers. And, oh, how I loves the totally totally rad al-b-um notes that feature the game "Who is Bigger, Dean or Texas?" Did a bit of Dino-research and likes our Dino led me to a very cool blog tagged "The Album Cover Art Gallery," where I found not only a pix of the cover art, but the liner notes as well with bit of Dino-commentary. Likes knows that I will be returnin' to that new-to-ilovedinomartin site very very Dino-often!
And, as part of our celebratin' this great great day in Dino-history have also included the youtube vid clip of our amazin' Dino havin' such fun singin' "Houston" on the Dino-show...remember that funniest of funny harmonica bit?!?!?
To view the "The Album Cover Art Gallery" just clicks on the tag of this here Dino-message. Keeps lovin' our Dino and keeps celebratin' with us all those awesome dates in Dino-time! Dino-hooked, DMP
Notes: Always smooth as old whiskey and new leather Dean comes across in this one with his typical class and warmth that makes you want to buy him a drink or two after the show. The liner notes include the game, "Who is Bigger, Dean or Texas?". According to Stan Cornyn Dean was once a croupier, won't ride in elevators since getting stuck between floors twice and his given name is Dino Crocetti. An acquired taste perhaps?
1968:Dean Martin’s Reprise’ album Houston is certified gold.

All of our Dino's albums are wonderful, of course.
But this particular one was particularly outstanding. I love the back of the album jacket!
Question: I've forgotten...How did the recording studio achieve the clinking sound in the background music for "Houston"? I think there is an interesting bit of trivia there.
Hey pallie, likes thanks ever so much Miss AOW for your Dino-reflections. Likes I know that I heard sometime somewhere 'bout that noise, but likes you I have forgotten...pershaps 'nother Dino-phile will be able to helps us out with that Dino-detail! Keeps lovin' our most beloved Dino!
From what my pickled brain is tellin' me...the "clinkin" was made from tappin' on a Coke bottle. Very clever!

Thanks for the info, Danny.
Hey pallie, likes thanks Danny-o...as I was ponderin' this Dino-wonder, that Dino-detail came back to me sometime early this Dino-mornin'. Keeps lovin' our Dino!
