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!

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:43pm

Dennis, all of their albums are really great (Mr. Airplane Man). Saw them many times live too. They even did an impromptu show at the record store in my hood a few years ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:44pm
Dennis Diken:

hey, Artie, let's party! @LesleyK, is there one fave LP by them for you?

Thanks for "Bad Penny Blues" -- read about it a lot but never heard it!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:52pm
Dennis Diken:

thanks, Artie, shall do! you got it, spurn, glad you're here, bud!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:53pm
Artie:

It's hard to fault the first, self-titled, Mr. Airplane Man LP that many of us started with, or you might prefer the slightly cleaner recording of Jacaranda Blue. mrairplaneman.bandcamp.com

myron feld:

Jan & Dean's "Linda" was written by Jack Lawrence, who used to live around the corner from us in a small CT town. He wrote it for Linda Eastman sometime in the 40s (her father was Jack's attorney). News you can sort of use?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:57pm
LesleyK:

@Artie--i actually don't own that one, now that you mention it! but i know i have heard it--will have to revisit. but still think C'mon DJ is my fav. thanks for sharing the link!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:59pm
LesleyK:

but yes, love 'jesus on the mainline' from that first airplan man album!
