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

 Well, Hey there pallies o' mine! 

Nice to see we all made it safely through 'nother firecrackin' celebration of our independence! 

Actually, not much celebratin' for Danny G., this year, mi amici. Just chilled out at home, as the neighbor's fireworks scared the heck out of my poor little puppy! Ugh! But...our independence STILL must be greatly appreciated, pals! 

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'! Ha! 

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

To me, these kinda jams just fit the season. 

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

Grab hold of his star, pals & shoot through the skies with Dino! 

It's a never endin' journey. "Senza Fine"...without end! 

We'll do it together! Us & Dino! 

Stop for a drink on any random cloud...then we is off, 'gain! 

Hold on tight, mi amici...here we's go!!!

Enjoy!

Danny G's SPECIAL "Month Coolness Came To Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "A Hundred Years From Today"

 Welcome back, pals! 

Young & old...meek & bold...let's ALL come together & listen to this fella named Dino! Haha!! 

Hey...what a cool cool thin' to do, mi amici! 

He's our kinda' guy & he ALWAYS has somethin' good to say! 


Man o man...is June really slippin' away already?! 

Well, pals...I guess it's time to drop the Summer down to low gear...& just cruise. Gotta stretch this HOT & STICKY season out as much as we can! 

I know, I know...Some days gots youse meltin'...feelin' like a snowball on the 4th o' July! 90s can be tough! 

But, pallies o' mine...it's truly worth it! 

Not many thins' I dig more than these HOT HOT days of COOL COOL outdoor Dino-tunes! Whether I'm chillin' with a friend...or floatin' 'round a pool...I ALWAYS gots Dean providin' the days soundtrack. 

Dino & Summer go together like bread & butter, pals. Let's soak it all in! 

After all...it's these HOT Dino-diggin' memories that is gonna keep us warm all year long, my friends!  

Yea! I've really been thinkin'...this whole month...'bout how TRULY awesome it is...that after ALL these years...ALL this time...the name Dean Martin...STILL carries SO SO much happiness, fun & respect! Man, mi amici...that's impressive to me! We STILL here his songs on TV commercials..We STILL see his movies regularly! And even in today's high tech world of the internet...we is STILL flooded with new stories, tributes, & birthday wishes! Not to mention his very own festival...numerous impersonators...& countless new & old performers givin' thanks & showin' gratitude. Yup...he's ALWAYS poppin' up somewhere! 

I can't helps but laugh to myself, when he's brought up in the mostest leastest likeliest of places! Haha!! 

Ok...now let's get the tunes flowin'.


Well, pallies...as the curtain falls on 'nother GREAT GREAT month long tribute to "The Month That Coolness Came To Earth"... let's ponder if Mr. & Mrs. Gaetano Crocetti could ever have imagined, that on that GREAT GREAT & BLESSED day...June 7th, 1917...their bouncin' & swingin' baby boy...would STILL be praised..."A Hundred Years From Today"! 

Enjoy!

Danny G's SPECIAL "Month Coolness Came To Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "Somebody Loves You"

 Welcome back, ol' pals o' mine! 

Happy Summer 2025! 

Hot, sunny days are here! Yay!!! 

Hope everyone is makin' it through our first heatwave! Man! Hot stuff, pallies...literally! Haha!! 

Now, mi amici...is it just me...or do youse worry 'bout Summer flyin' by? 

I know...I know...I get like this every year...'bout every season! I must be crazy! Haha!! 

Summer just started 2 days ago... & I'm already 'fraid of it slippin' through my Dino-diggin' fingers! Haha!! Maybe 'cause Spring seemed to sail by this year...SO SO quickly! 

Oh well, pals...we'll hold onto these long, muggy days...extra tight! 

OK, pallies...let's gets to some tunes! 

I'm thinkin' this is the PER FEC TO time to kick off the season with one of Dean's FUN FUN "Latin type" tunes, mi amici. Just the way we likes it...REAL bouncy!  GREAT way to keep our "Month Coolness Came To Earth" vibe flowin' too! 

Now who says "Summer fun" better than Dino? No one! He's the party-master! Ha! 

Well...I guess the best place to start is ALWAYS one my FAVE summery Dino-al b ums..."Cha Cha De Amor". Yes, pals...this little vinyl Frisbee is JAM-PACKED with HOT HOT & yet VERY VERY COOL Dino-tunes. 

Let's grab a little "Somebody Loves You", for today's Serenade. 

This one will REALLY set the mood & is goin' out to a special friend. 

Picture this, pals...It's a hot...sweaty...Summer night. A little breeze keeps it tolerable, though. Youse grabs some yummy...icy...beverage of choice. Put the needle on the vinyl...& melt away with Dean. 

Ahhhhhh. That's good stuff, mi amici. 

Cheers to 'nother Summer with Dino, pals! 

Enjoy!

Danny G's SPECIAL "Happy Daddy-O Day" "Month Coolness Came To Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "For The Good Times"

 Man o man, what a day, pallies. 

So So peaceful. 

Let me begin with a GIANT Happy Father's Day, to ALL the Dino-diggin' Dads out there! A title not to be taken lightly, mi amici! Can be hard work at times! Haha!! 

Hey, pals...it's a big responsibility for sure, but...one that I truly cherish & consider my biggest blessin' from above. 


Man...I simply LOVES the fact that Fathers Day falls right smack in the middle of these few swingin' weeks, which we have come to know as "The Month Coolness Came to Earth", month! How TOTALLY cool & appropriate is that, pals?! 

Dino is like a "Father" figure to us all, in a way, my friends. 

Someone to help guide us through this CRAZY life of ours! 

Someone we can always turn to when we need a little "pick-me-up". Our rock that is ALWAYS there...through the good times...& the not so great ones, too. Now THAT sounds like a "Dad" to me, pallies! 


So, ol' friends o' mine...as I does every year...on this special day...I'm gonna play a Dino-tune that reminds me of my pop! The man who was ALWAYS there for me & NEVER faulted me for my many foolish mistakes. And there were plenty, Haha!! 

A guy who always...ALWAYS had a smile...no matter what troubles he may of had. Just a Cool Cool fella who made me feel at ease all throughout my life. Nothin' could trouble me when Dad was 'round! 

They were the BEST of times, pallies. 

Funny how someone can give you that TOTAL comfort, huh pals? Yup...that was Dad. My first introducer of Dino! Showed me what magic this fella, Dino, possessed! 

Dean, like my father, gives that TOTAL comfort to us now. A feelin' that nothin' is that bad. No problem is too big that a drink & a song can't help. That's the kinda vibe we can get from Dino! 


So, mi amici...Happy Father's Day. 

Enjoy the Serenade..."For the Good Times" And 'member those special guys today. They did/do a lot! 

This one's for you, Pop! 

Salute!

Nah. I'm more of a chill out kinda fella. 

Probably the way our bestest birthday boy, Dino was. 

We all read how he was more than happy just relaxin' on a golf course or watchin' tv at home. Yup, that was Dean...& that is me. 

I know...I know...I'm always lookin' for any & every little similarity 'tween Dino & myself. Haha!! But, hey! Why not?! Who better to compare to & model after? Am I right, pallies? DEFINATELY. 

And guess what else? When I'm chillin' & doin' ab so lute ly nothin'...I'm actually...usually...thinkin' 'bout the "good times". Yea, that's me too. 

Well, pals...just so happens...that as i'm ponderin' those days & years gone by...Dean seems to be in just 'bout every thought. The background music to my life. The people I've known. The places I've gone. They all seem to somehow have Dino attached. What can I say, my friends? I'm a Dino-holic! Haha!! 

He's my pal & my inspiration. A connectin' energy that links it ALL together. 


Today's Serenade..."I Love You, For Sentimental Reasons"...is one of those Dino-jams that goes through my thoughts all the time. It's perfect to take me back to those GREAT GREAT easy goin' days...& COM PLETE LY PERFECTO to celebrate our BESTEST guy! 

Let's check it out & see where it brings youse, mi amici. Maybe back to yesterday...Maybe takes you on a new journey forward! 

Either way, pallies...It's GREAT havin' Dino walkin' along with you! 

Happy Birthday,pallie

Keep on croonin'!

Danny G's SPECIAL "Month Coolness Came to Earth" Sunday Serenade with Dino: "How Sweet It Is"

 Hey pals...welcome back! 

It's time to kick off 'nother "Month Coolness Came to Earth"!!! 

Man o man, I am just SO SO pumped! 

Can't even believe our pal amongst pals would be turnin' 108, this comin' Saturday! 

Don't forget to checks out all your local classic TV channels! I'm SURE they will be rockin' Dino flicks all damn day! And if they isnt...start callin' your local cable provider & raise some hell! Haha!! 

Man...What a time we've had so far, huh, pals? 

Day after day & year after year...Dino has been an ever present companion for us all. He's my "Cumpare". My friend. Swingin' through life with me. My ups, my downs. Side by side & never even a worry that he would hit splitsville. 

It might be hard to believe or even understand, to many...but to we "Dino-holics"...it's as simple & natural as olives in a martini. That's just the way it is! Dean is our pal. Like family, really. The COOL fella who shows up for every party, weddin', or cook out. And when he does...MAN...what a time it is! The room wakes up! Dance floors are flooded like the party just started! Dino just has that effect on us. He equals FUN & GREAT TIMES! 

Now pals...I could go on & on 'bout what Dean means to me & how much happiness he's brought to my life...but...I think youse knows EXACTLY what I'm talkin' 'bout. He brings his spirit to us all.  


On June 7th, 1917...God sent us a gift. A gift that TRULY keeps on givin'. 

We were the lucky ones, mi amici. We can say that we walked the Earth at the same time as he did. Now, to me...that's VERY cool! Of course, Dino's music & movies...TV shows & live performances, will be 'round forever, but...it's OUR generations that were here WITH him! 

VERY cool, indeed. 


OK, pallies...I gotta go. 

Got some Dino tunes I gotta get jammin' too! Haha!! 


Happy "early" Birthday, Dino! 

Hey, wait a minute!! 

I got SO caught up in the Dino-moment...I almost forgot the main reason I is here...the Kick off SERENADE! 

Well, pals...this ones easy. 

All I needs to do is think of Dino. 

He's my guy. 

My mentor...& my friend. 

Man o man, pallies..."How Sweet It Is!" 

Enjoy.

 Welcome back, mi amici. 

Man o' man...It's hard to believe 'nother Memorial Day has arrived. Man! 

These years must be gettin' shorter 'cause I swear I was just doin' this a few months back!

O, & by the way...I am NOT callin' this the "un-official start of Summer"! 

No sir! 

It is still Spring for 'nother WON DER FUL month, pals! Let's not rush this GREAT season off! Please, pallies! I'm beggin' youse! Haha!! 

Ok...let me gets down to Dino-business, here. 

This beautiful, extra long weekend, is all 'bout the 'memberin' of those precious souls who have come & gone, my friends. The memories of our veterens. Our family. Our friends. Of course...our Dino. The EXTRA special people who have sacrificed for us...Who have guided us...And who have made our lives better just because they were here. 

I can think of many, mi amici. I'm sure youse can as well. 


Many of my own personal memories always seem to involve 2 of the coolest & funnest fellas, ever to walk the Earth! My Dad & Dean Martin. Ha! 

Man o man, pallies...these guys REALLY helped make me the Cool Cool cat I am today! Hahaha!!! 

Seriously though, mi amici...I owe a lot of fun & happy times to them both. Always had my back...in one way or 'nother. Always made me feel invincible. And NEVER left my side. 

And, pals...let's not forget our fearless leader, Dino Martin Peters. We wouldn't be here, at the coolest blog on the "Net", without him. 


Today's Serenade, "Think About Me", is goin' out to ALL those who maybe gone from our sight...but NEVER from our hearts, souls & minds. Sacrificed for us. And didn't complain 'bout it. 

Someday we will ALL be together...at The Sands...watchin' Dino & the boys...laugin' & be foolish! 

Invincible! 

Forever! 

Salute, Dad! 

Salute, DMP! 

Salute, Dino! 

We salute youse ALL! 

Enjoy, my friends & Happy Memorial Day!
