Deana, Thank you for
your answer. HI Deana, Thank you for
your time; I am seeking a photo of Mr. Martin for the purpose
of including it along with a short bio, Charles Hi Deana, I happened upon your site by sheer luck. I am looking for music and lyrics for the song "old bones" for my father. Daddy is 84 and plays piano and sings at senior centers 3 days a week (where he is frequently older than some of the seniors he's entertaining!). And daddy uses me as his Internet provider in his never-ending search for older pieces of music. I’ve been searching for "old bones" for about 4 months now. Can you help? Thank you, Hello Deana, Thank you for continuing the legacy of one of the greatest singers ever. I grew up listening to Dean and laughing at he and Jerry. What a team! I feel a special connection because I lost my son the same day and time as he lost his son. My son was military as well. Bless you for
keeping his music alive. Hi Deana: Chris in N.J.
Dear Deana, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed reading your book about your father Dean Martin. I saw a lot of the same characteristics with your dad & mine maybe that is why my dad loved your father so much. A lot of people my age, 53, grew up listening to Dean because of our parents. My father made me aware of Al Jolsen who he enjoyed too & only your dad could sing Jolsen songs & do them justice. This was my first visit to Steubenville for the Dean Martin festival. I really didn't know what to expect as we drove into Steubenville. I cried to see the plaque of your father and all the billboards of Dean. I cried as I walked the streets listening to Dean's voice fills the air & hearing Dean singing, "return to me" in the restaurant, I cried more. You can only imagine what my heart felt as I saw the beautiful mural of your father. So by the time I saw you walk into Kroger's I was overwhelmed with emotions. The festival was such a wonderful tribute to your father; this was my 2nd father's day without my dad. Each year for me is harder and harder but being with you at the festival would have really made my dad proud, I’m sure my dad was watching over me. One question for you, are you going to have a postage stamp issued of your father for next year?? I think it would be a wonderful tribute to your father!! 2nd question, when my dad passed away in my arms, a song came on our TV station that plays classic music & had a young picture of your dad singing a song with the words "for you, just for you". I thought I have heard every song your father recorded but I can't figure this one out. My father was dying of respiratory failure. I was talking to my father as he was passing & asked him to go with Dean, but to please send me a message to let me know he was ok and with his idol, Dean Martin who he never got to meet. 20 minutes after my dad passed away, me still with my father this song came on. I believe this was a message from my dad. I know this is a lot to ask, but I am hoping you might know what song I am talking about so I can get all the words to it. Thanks for reading this very long letter and for taking a picture with me. My husband & I got to talk to John while you were busy signing books & I got a picture with your husband. I can't wait to see you again next year. Thanks for keeping your father's memory alive for all of us to enjoy !!! Love,
HI Deana, My name is Shawn and I live in Moundsville, WV about an hour from Steubenville. First off let me start of by saying I am a big fan of your father, I loved watching him in the ‘Cannon Ball Run’ movies. I have a question for you. We have a traveling puppet company out of Moundsville and we are creating a 50's and 60's show to take to nursing homes we would some of your father's songs for this show. If you would allow this we would send you a DVD of the show. We would greatly appreciate this and I feel this would be another great way to pay tribute to your father here in the Ohio valley. Thank you, Deana, I love your dad I missed the Festival. Is it the same date every year? Regina
Hello Deana, I’ve just finished your book “Memories Are Made Of This” and I’m wondering if you can help me. I’ve requested this information from another Dean Martin web site but never received a response. My friend’s daughter is getting married in August and since I’m a Dean Martin fan he asked me about a song that he had heard Dean Martin sing similar to daddy’s little girl about a daughter on her wedding day. He would like to use this Dean Martin song in place of daddy’s little girl. I told him I heard the song and have it in my collection but can't locate it. My friend keeps nagging me about the song so I’m hoping you could help me with the name of this song I would greatly appreciate it. Thanking you
in advance, Deana; I was wondering if you could tell me how a man like your father can still make a 9-year still sing his songs? My daughter and myself are the biggest Dean Martin fans in Indiana and it amazes me how one man can have that much impact on people in life. I kept it short so hopefully you can e-mail back. God bless you and your father, Dino. Guiv Hi Deana & John, It was so good to see you again. Thanks for letting me sing for you. I’ve been selected as a Miss Pre-teen Ohio finalist. I'll get to sing a song for optional talent. I’m going ask if I can sing "that's amore". Write sometime when you can. I loved hearing you sing Deana. I hope you make a CD of Dean's songs. I'll be the first in line to buy it. Love,
