Dear Deana- this is
the second time I have written you cause in many ways I feel
you are the connection to all the great times I had enjoying
your dads career. As a local saloon singer in the New Orleans
area, your dad was my idol for many years. Every day I think
about Dino and enjoy his re-released CDs. My question- did your
dad sing live on his TV show or lip-sync to pre recorded material.
Either way- he was tops in my book and my world has been a little
more solemn knowing he is not around anymore. I know he smiles
on us from above. God bless you and yours-
Hi Deana,
The first time I heard your Dad's Music was when my husband played a Christmas CD with some of his music on it. From then on I was hooked. I am 29 years old and my music collection is nothing but your Dad and the Rat Pack! I was wondering if you knew if there was a poster of your Dad out anywhere from his newest Album "Dino the essential Dean Martin?" I would really love a poster size copy of that picture! My best to you,
Hello, Deana- I was recently very fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase an advance order copy of your memoir, Memories Are Made of This. I wanted to let you know how very much I enjoyed reading the book. It was wonderfully written, straight-forward and honest, just as Jerry Lewis indicated in the Forward. On a personal note, I work for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and appreciate the special bond that Mr. Lewis and your dad shared. A photograph of their 1976 Telethon reunion hangs in my office! Not
only do I greatly enjoy the amazing body of work that your dad
provided for us, but I especially have tremendous admiration
for him and for the kind of man that he was. In your book, as
well as in Ricci's book, which I also own, it is so heartwarming
to read stories that convey the great love that your dad had
for his family and friends.Thank you to you, Ricci, your family
members and others such as Greg Garrison and Lee Hale, who have
done so much to keep your dad's memory alive. With the lack of
true television entertainment and music today, I can't tell you
how very much I enjoy my videos and tapes of your dad's performances,
television shows, movies and music. He truly was, and remains,
a treasure!Lastly, thank you so much for sharing the wonderful
Pasta Fagioli recipe. I collect special recipes and I will truly
enjoy having this one!Should I be able to attend the Dean Martin
weekend in Ohio next June, I hope to have the opportunity to
personally say hello to you!Best wishes,
Hi Deana, I’m originally from
Steubenville, moved to Las Vegas a year ago. As a child Thursday
night was a big night, The Dean Martin Show, my grandmother was born
in Italy came to Pittsburgh, then to Steubenville , the whole family
were such fans of your father. I’m 48 now and passing the dean
martin tradition down to my children, my 6 year old girl makes me
put a dean martin CD in as soon as she gets in the car, she knows
some songs by hart, even at 6, your dad has a fan, I was fortunate
to see your dad in Las Vegas in the early 90's at Bally’s,
I’m so glad I got to see him perform before he retired, he's
always going to be my favorite singer and it looks like my daughters
also, her favorite songs are Houston and Volare, you signed a poster
for me in Steubenville at the festival a couple years ago, I still
have it hanging in my house in Vegas ,thanks,
Mike Ribar
No question. I was born a fan of your fathers. Just thought you might find it interesting that my father was born 6/7/18. My mother's birthday is on Christmas day. I didn’t know this till quite recently. Now I really feel a connection. Can't wait to read your book. Sincerely, Jean
Deana I was wondering if you had a relationship with your mom and will you be mentioning her in your memoir? Also I did not know that your sister Claudia had passed away, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you, Mary Vasquez P. S. My dad and I loved your father's
movies and his music. He was
Dear Deana, I am desperate to acquire one of the Dean Martin animated singing dolls for a fan which I know are available in the US. Could you tell me if they are on sale in the UK???....or perhaps there is a Dean Martin UK website I could contact??? Many Thanks
