In my collection is a postcard of the Sands with Sammy as the headliner, and in the second room... Martin Denny. There's a connection. Dean vacationed in Hawaii, as did most of the stars in those days. But for those guys, the whole thing was just the current thing. Go to a luau, catch a band at the Hawaiian Hilton. Nothing more than typical 50's and 60's life.
