Title: As always, happy to share a natal day with Dennis...
Post by: Don Malcolm on December 04, 2022, 06:38:40 PM
It's 12/4 and we do need a thread commemorating Dennis' birthday...we are 39 years past the last one he experienced while he was still with us, and one of the best things that's happened over that period is the rediscovery and release of so much more of his work that had been salted away for so long.

I've always enjoyed the coincidence of sharing a birthday with him, and this year is no exception. We've gotten many early Xmas presents in the SOS set, including revelatory looks at Dennis' work during the CATP and Holland sessions, with "Carry Me Home" and the deeper dive into tracks such as "Steamboat," "Make It Good" and "Cuddle Up."

It's just another reason to celebrate Dennis' natal day, and to remember him in all of his "live a fast life" complexity.

Thanks, Dennis...and RIP. You are not forgotten!
