Happy Labor Day Weekend! 

Happy September, too! 

Today feels like a GREAT day to catch our breaths. Don't it?  It's a day to chill out...have a drink...& just relax! 

Monday's day off is a time to honor ALL the GREAT GREAT folks who work every day & do their part to contribute to this GREAT GREAT country of ours! Youse keep the machine runnin', pallies! 

Now...we ALL have our job to do, my friends. From police & firemen & women...to bartenders...to stay-at-home moms & dads. Each one is important & is worthy of praise. 

Well, pals...I can think of a VERY VERY COOL COOL HARD WORKIN' fella...goes by the name "Dino". This was one laborin' kinda guy, my friends! Sure, he made it look it easy. But...Dean was one of the BUSIEST cats in the entertainment world, pallies! From performin' live & recordin' albums...to makin' movies & doin' TV shows...He was some kinda work-aholic! Haha!! 

People can say that he was lazy & only played golf...but WE knows the facts, mi amici! 

I have one more VERY special somebody in mind today, pals. Mama mia. My mom. Mama G.! It was her birthday yesterday! Yay, Mom! 

She was/is ALWAYS there for ol' Danny G., even when I was actin' like a fool! Haha!! Which was quite often, pals! Hahaha!!! 

Now THAT'S Labor! Ha! 

She's sacrificed a lot for me & ALWAYS has my back. Not to mention...was one of the first to introduce me to the sweet sweet sound...of the voice...that is Dean Martin!  

I thinks I will play one of her all time FAVE Dino-tunes for this week's Serenade, my friends. As I likes to do every year... "In the Misty Moonlight". 

It's sure to bring a happy thought of Mama G. & is a cool cool jam to relax to on this chilled-out kind of day. 

So, here we's go, pallies! 

Enjoy your weekend! 

Happy Birthday, Mom! 

Let's keep that Dino & vino flowin'!!! 

Salute!

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. 

Thursday, August 4th, marked 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 60 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.   

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Grazie, Prego, Scusi"

 Hey pallies...what's new & excitin'?! Haha!! 

My ol' boss used to asked me that EVERY mornin'. Used to crack me up 'cause back in those days...there were ALWAYS new & excitin' thins' happenin'! ALL the time! Hahaha!!! 

Oh well, mi amici...it's all part of bein' young & carefree.  

Not a worry in the world. Just good times.  

Nothin' better than that feelin', pals. Youth is priceless. 

Well, dear ol’ friends o’mine…What we ALL need to do...is hold onto that youthful vibe...always! Or...we can try to get it back. Oh, it can be done, pal’s! Don't forget...we gots us a card up our sleeves. DINO! Yup! Good ol' Dean will keep us young forever! Maybe not in body...but in mind! 

Don't EVER lose that passion for life, pallies! Believe me...music is the key. Dean's music! Let me help youse out a wee bit. 

Last week, I told youse I was gonna take your mind off the sweatin' & the stressin'. Well, pals...Danny G. would NEVER lie to his Dino-diggin' peeps!

I gots us just the right cure, for those Summertime blues, my friends! 

How's 'bout a wee bit of some "Grazie, Prego, Scusi"?! This tune is SURE to get that youthful PEP back into your STEP! 

The heat & the "agita" will melt away. The weight of the world will be lifted... & a NEW & IMPROVED you, will emerge! Haha!! 

I'm tellin' youse, mi amici...Dino has the power! Let today's bouncy little Serenade be the start of a NEW youth minded lifestyle! 

It's easy on the brain & carefree...just the way life should be! Maybe once was. Let's try our best to get it back, pallies! 

Once you feel that zest for livin’...youse'll NEVER let it go 'gain! 

Mind over matter, my friends! Dino-mind, that is. 

Enjoy!

Danny G's Sunday Serenade with Dino: "I'll Buy That Dream"

 Welcome back, pals! 

Danny G. here...reportin' live & sweatin' from my neck o' the woods, USofA! Haha!!  

So...how's this crazy, hazy heatwave treatin' youse? Still sizzlin'? Still hot & muggy? Yea, I know...some parts of the world NEVER seem to cool off! 

Well...I've heard...some like it HOT! Ha!  

I, for one, will take the sticky heat...over the frigid cold...any day of the year. pals.  But, mi amici...I knows it can be hard to find some much needed shade & peace of mind...durin' these tryin' times. Hard to keep our blood pressure down & our brains on ice. 

So with these hot & steamy days here to stay...for awile...I figured I'd pick 'nother really cool & easy...SULTRY type tune...to help chill thins' out...just a bit. 

A jam to get us swoonin' & croonin' &  ignore the sweatin' & the stressin'! 

Sound good to youse? Cool! Let's go! 

This week's Serenade, "I'll Buy That Dream", off Dino's 1964 al b um, "Dream with Dean", is the PERFECTO kinda song for a late night float in the pool...drink in hand...obviously. HaHa!! 

Maybe even a relaxin' ride in the moonlight...on a hot & muggy July evenin'! Man! What a thought! Haha!! 

Now, pallies...pool or no pool...I thinks we ALL can grab that drink... turn this Dino-ditty WAY up...and let Dean take us away. Balmy thoughts & hot, hot places. Yummy, chilled drinks & tan, happy faces! Sounds like Summer to me! 

We better put some of those thoughts on ice, pals...it goes quick. 

Here's to keepin' the Summer long & hot...but still OH SO COOL!!!  

Enjoy!

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

 Welcome back, pals! 

Well, mi amici...looks like we all made it through ALL the SPECIAL days! Man! 

Patriots Day! Mothers Day! Fathers Day! Memorial Day! Indepenence Day! Wow! Am I missin' any?! Haha!! 

Anyway...It's nice to see we all made it safely through 'nother firecrackin' celebration! 

A time to party for our independence! 

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. 

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'! Haha!! 

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

These kinda jams just fit the season, pals. 

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 wunderin' & wonderin'...not sure what lies ahead...just floatin'. 

Grab hold of his star, pals...here we's go!!!

Man o' man...thins' is REALLY gettin' steamy now!!! Hazy...Lazy...Crazy days of Summer are DEF I NATE LY upon us, pals! 

Time to get your toes in the sand & a yummy drink in your hand! 

These are TRULY days made for max'n & relaxin', ol' pals o' mine. 

Well pallies...I thinks this week's firecrackin' Serenade is worthy of some easy goin' & laid back Summertime jams...don't youse?! 

Found us some COOL COOL tunes for these HOT HOT days from two of THE mostest easy goin' laid back dudes that I've EVER seen in ALL my years!!! 

Time for a little "Duetin' with Dino" with one of Dean's very good pals & earliest vocal style IN SPI RA TIONS..."The Bing!" 

Man these two cats REALLY can croon & REALLY do understand what's TRULY important in life...ENJOYIN" IT!!! 

We should ALL take some notes from Dino & Bing in this vid! Relax. Don't stress. Life's WAY too short to sweat the little stuff pals. Sit back & REALLY soak in this GREAT GREAT seven song medley, pals. 

Love the way they mesh them all together to make one smooth flowin' summery-type jam...for us to TOTALLY melt into! 

"Breezin' Along With The Breeze" starts it off & winds it down. 

Let's soak in the "laid back" vibe, pallies. Leave the stressin' for someone else. Someone who just don't get it. 

By the way pals...Check out that tan!!! Hahaha! 

Ok...let's get to the independence celebratin'!
