sad to hear of Lenny's death and no playing the last number of years. Mr. Dee recorded many many LPs. He was also one of the early artists to sell an LP set on national TV Al |

Now here's a name I haven't heard or thought of since somewhere around 1955! I used to listen to my parents' albums, thinking this guy was really cool, and frankly, I was surprised to see his death so recent. My first thought was that I thought he'd left us long ago. Rest in peace, and thanks for the memories. |
