 Hey pals! It's Sunday!

"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!

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.

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

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!

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.
