It is sad to see such a legendary figure depart from this world - but I am glad that he lived so long, and was able to sense a new generation's admiration for him and his work.
Two years ago, the exotica list collected birthday wishes which were later read to Martin Denny. Here is what I wrote back then ... the sentiments still remain the same
M .... Make mine a mai-tai
A .... Another mai-tai, please, for the woman here
R ..... Really good music playing in the background
T ..... Two people together, enjoying the growing ambience
I ...... Incredible, the whole aura that is happening here
N ..... Need I say that it is Martin Denny on the turntable
D ...... Do we appreciate the music you've provided through the years?
E ..... Even more with each passing year
N ..... Note the visions of Hawaiian imagery floating through our heads
N ..... Ninety two is a very nice number, but then, all of the nineties are nice
Y ..... yesterday we heard your music, today we smile, tomorrow our lives are thus enriched.
