Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm"

 Wooooo Hoooooo!!! 

Happy Dino-Year 2026!!! Well...almost...Haha!! 

Man o man...what a whirlwind it's been, pals!!! I'm not even sure what DAY it is...never mind the year! Hahaha!!! Thins' have been so so crazy durin' these last couple weeks...my Mondays seem like Fridays & Wednesdays are like Saturdays!!! Man! 

Anyway...we made it! 

Dino lead us through the thick & thin of 2025. Some good...some not so great. But guess what, mi amici! It's time to start fresh!!! And...my friends...I'm POS I TIVE Dino will help swing us into the BEST year yet! 

Now pals...I'm SURE I've shared my crazy little New Years tradition with all youse cool cool Dino-philes many times. Every year actually, haha...But...it's just one of those VERY special little thins' that I loves sharin' with all my fellow Dino-holics or maybe a new Dino-digger, to our blog. So....here it is, 'gain. 

This was actually somethin' my Nanna G. would do with my bro & I on New Years Eve, while Mom & Pop were out dancin' & celebratin'. 

Soon as the BALL fell...as soon as Midnight struck...she would lead us to the front door... & open it up...lettin' the old year out...& the new year in! Haha!  We got such a KICK outta this yearly routine as kids, that I STILL do it to this very day, Haha! 

Nanna was such a SWEET & FUN lady! My earliest memories of Dean were actually with her & I wathchin' Martin & Lewis flicks in her parlor. 

Yes sir pallies...that's where it ALL began! I knew there & then...that I was a tried & true Dino-holic! Ha! 

Ok, pals...let's get the very last Sunday Serenade of 2025 spinnin'! 

What do youse say we bid farewell with a little somethin' from the "Winter Romance" al b um? I'm thinkin' some "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" will be PERFECTO to ease us into a new wintery season...as well as a COOL COOL NEW YEAR! 

Well, mi amici...let's ALL thinks of the message Nanna G. was tryin' to instill in our young minds.  Let your old worries go...leave them in the past...And enjoy life from today goin forward! 

Dean spreads the same vibe to me now & EVERYDAY! 

Let's make this a GREAT year pallies! 

Dino's at our side & he's leadin' the way! 

OK ol' pals o' mine...turn it up & raise a glass to the good times to come! 

This one's with you in mind, Nanna! 

Salute & Happy Dino-year!!!

So, my friends...relax. Dean's snowy tunes will keep us on ice 'til the first signs of Spring! Hallelujah!!! What a guy! 

He'd NEVER abandon us right smack in the middle of this crazy & chilly season! 

Actually...Winter hasn't even officially started yet! 

Man o' man...we still gots PLENTY of time for these type o' tunes! Cool! 

Anyways, pallies...this time of year always gets me in a melancholy mood. You too? 

Get's me thinkin' back to my younger days. 

I still laugh to myself 'bout all the crazy thins' that have happened over the years. 

I reminisce 'bout all the peeps that have come & gone. REALLY gets me longin' for those olden times & Christmases gone by. 

Man, mi amici...what I wouldn't give to be back there, now...just for a bit. Hug my Dad...give my Nanna a BIG kiss...be foolish with my friends. Just be young & free of worry, once 'gain. I guess we ALL wouldn't mind that huh, pals? 

Well...guess what, my friends?! 

Deans gonna help us do just that! 

Today's Serenade, "I'll Be Home for Christmas", is that ONE special song that REALLY takes me back there. Takes me back to those WONDERFUL days! 

I'm hopin' that it will bring ALL youse, pals o' mine, some GREAT GREAT memories of this GREAT GREAT season, as well!  

Stay safe & Enjoy!

Youse gettin' mentally prepped for the upcomin' Turkey feast? Yea, my friends...I guess we's can start thinkin' 'bout it now. Only a few weeks away.

How's 'bout we start thins' off with some "If I Had You"? OK, pals! Sounds like a "leaf rakin'" plan!

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 serenity.  

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 & calming, pals. 

Now, this tune has been sung many many times by many many singers, pallies. But...NO ONE & I mean 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 & Dino. 

Pour up a little vino & soak it all in. 

Ahhhh serenity. 

Enjoy pals.

"Hey Danny G...What's the jam???", youse ask?

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 TV Show", vinyl masterpiece..."Home".  

Enjoy the Serenade, pals. Dino had the right idea for sure! 

And I found us a BEA U TI FUL live vid...right off "The Dean Martin TV Show! How appropriate! Haha!!

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

Ahhhhh, so true, pallies. 

Ciao.
