Dennis Diken's avatar View Dennis Diken's profile Favoriting

Step into Denny’s Den to give yourself a little lift as you make your way through the busy day. Or take a break and make the world go away for a while. Dig on platters a-plenty, from The Chantels to Del Shannon, The Small Faces to Jimmy Reed. And so much more. Maybe some Basie and Kenton? Relax. You’ve earned it!

Never had a mint julep with a green onion in it, but it sure sounds like that's what Booker T et al are serving.

gene sculatti:

Context is everything, and the Den is so good at it: the Delfonics' form of Philly soul usually leaves me cold. But now that I've dug 'Trying to Make a Fool of Me,' I've gotta reconsider!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:45pm
Dennis Diken:

@Baby, gotta check that Gaylord stash on the archive to be sure!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:47pm
Gaylord Fields:

@Baby: Thanks! I appreciate the compliment.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:48pm
Dennis Diken:

thanks Gene - agreed, context can really change a feeling for certain sounds. so glad you're here!
Avatar 2:49pm
Listener Baby:

Gaylord is the only guy I know that plays (and clearly loves) that Junie song "Tightrope" The funky-est thing ever committed to tape. Also, that Hugo and Osvaldo-less Shakers tune is a keeper!
Avatar 2:55pm
Reechie:

That Bohannon cut was great. Another one for me to track down.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:11pm

@Todd-o-phonic Todd: I just looked at the clock after reading what you wrote, and you are right! (Although I know of another two-hour Rock 'n' Soul show where I can similarly lose track of the time…)

Very cool YT vid of Eric Haydock playing a Bass VI on "Now's the Time" from 1963 film "It's All Over Town." Pretty cool ...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:47pm
Dennis Diken:

@Jeff, gotta look for that - Sal M, know it?
  3:52pm
Jeff in AZ:

Correction—1964 film. He's wearing a Bass VI way up high, and it's a fun and pretty swinging tune ...
  3:53pm
Sal Maida:

Hey Gaylord, I rate Eric Haydock very highly. Great player!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:54pm

Hadn't heard the earthier sounds of the Dells before. Pretty great!
