Martin Denny (April 10, 1911 - March 2, 2005) was an American musician.

I have not been able to find either Elsa or that pervert Elvis despite my search. I have located the whereabouts of the girl from the Midlands who’s name is Tracy. She is quite a sweet thing and in view of my earlier attempts to alert females to the notion of a mass fatality I decided to play it safe and asked her to meet me up on deck by the life boat at 11pm.

So I got a nice little media mail package today with 5 Martin Denny records in it.
First off, the seller packaged them very nicely - all removed from sleeves and stuff. He also had the sense of humor to bookend the records with other record covers such as a signed copy of "the solo artistry of Robert Hale and Dean Wilder - Songs of Devotion and Praise." Yes, I said 'signed.' I thought I was going to have a duplicate copy of Quiet Village, but the one I got in the mail ... MORE
