Hello Deana, I enjoy listening to you each morning on 1550 KKAD in Portland or. I like to hear you talk about the musicians you knew personally. I actually learned to love this kind of music later in my life. I’m 49 currently. I really enjoy your songs that you sing, especially with Jerry Lewis. I really hope to make it Branson some day. I also hope I can catch you in concert sometime. Keep up the good work. Sincerely, Dear Deana, Just a note to let you know how much I have enjoyed your CD. The song with Jerry Lewis gives me goose bumps--your dad must be smiling down on you. Secondly-- I drive to work with you and John, enjoying your show on WAKE-am and the music you play--now I’ve discovered you're on later in the day. Why the change? Donna Hi Deana, We were at your concert in Chicago last week. You were fabulous. Were do you get the endless amount of energy. WOW! It’s one of the best shows we have seen in years. Please let us know when you will be back in our area again. I just wanted to say how much my wife and I appreciate the photo you took with us after the show. We will cherish it forever. Two fans from Chicago, Dearest Deana, I was watching the Biography Channel last night and saw the show about you father, Dean Martin. I loved your comments and you had such presence on the show I just had to write and say thank you. I loved your father and think he was the greatest entertainer of them all. You are a very beautiful and eloquent young lady and I know your father is very proud of you. I also want to tell you how much I enjoyed reading your book, Memories are Made of This. It is by far the best biography about your wonderful father, my love, Dean Martin. Bless you Deana, Hi Deana, I would like to see you in the Boston area sometime. Your father was and continues to be great therapy for me and I just finished your wonderful book about him... tomorrow it's on to the recipe you included. Many thanks! Hi Deana, Thanks for being so sweet to us at WMKV in Cincinnati. All my love to all-hope maybe our paths cross again. Ken Kallick Dear Deana, Carol and I enjoy your morning show with John very much. Keep up the good work. Dick & Carol Hello Deana, You are definitely a chip off the old block. I just received your CD, Memories Are Made Of This for my birthday and I it’s great. You sing many of my favorite Dean Martin songs and I am so happy that you sing them so beautifully. I am a big Dean Martin fan and now I am a big Deana Martin fan. When will you record another? Congratulations, Dear Deana, Any plans on coming to Albany, NY for a book signing. I am halfway through the book and I love it. It’s been a pleasure learning about your dad through your words. Nicole Hi Deana, I just finished the bio on your dad, after Al Jolson he was the best. I will buy your book. I also just finished “Dean And Me”… sorry we disagree on Mr. Lewis. What will be in your store on the internet? Keep up the good work and we will never ever forget the talent your dad had. I could go on and on. But it is time to spend with my grandchildren. Martin Wolk Dear Deana, I have been listening to you on WCHA 800 radio. I really enjoy you and John Griffeth. God bless you both. Larry Highlands Hello Deana, I was at the book signing at Borders Book Store and I enjoyed the stories about your family I love the music of your father and Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett those are my idols. I hope you will come back to Ohio I live in Rocky River by the shores of Lake Erie its beautiful when the sunsets at night I love it well I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed the night listening to your memories of your father that was very nice. Well I’ll let you go. Take care. Dear Deana, Wow! Cara mia Deana you are some kind of chip off the old block of papa Dino...he'd be so very proud! Will you ever be doing any shows out here in northern California or in Las Vegas? Are there any DVD's available of any of your performances? Deana...join the crowd and do a "standards album"...you'd top them all! Ciao...con amore...mille abbraccio.
Hallo Deana! I am from Austria and I love your music. Graduations. Reinhard and Doris Hi Deana, I just love the music. Keep it up! Hi Deana, You asked me to email you when I finished your book and compare it to the book written by Jerry Lewis. I tremendously enjoyed both books. I must admit that while reading your book I found myself crying at least 3 different times. Your book gave me a better insight into your family life. Being from Ohio and having a father who was born in Italy, I could relate to many of the situations that you experienced. I just wanted you to know that your book was a wonderful tribute to your dad and both my husband and I enjoyed it thoroughly. We are going to try to come to the festival in Steubenville. Thanks again for allowing us to get a glimpse of your wonderful father. We will continue to enjoy his music and movies. Sincerely, Hello Deana, How are you? Is their going to be a 2007 Dean Martin fest? Mary Pat
Dear Deana, I listen to your radio show on KIXI 880 nearly every day. Being of a certain age I miss hearing singers of the "forties" such as Jane Froman, Vera Lynn, and Edith Piaf. They had wonderful voices. Perhaps at some time you could play some of their records. Anyway, keep up the good work. Monte Hi Deana, I love your father and I want you to know that young people love him still. I know that they are making a movie on his life from your book but we haven’t heard anything since. Do you know when it will be done and who can really play your father? I am looking forward to it. Theresa Dear Deana, Can I buy your CDs in the UK? I love to hear you on Music Of Your
Life. It’s a great station.
Hi Deana, I have been waiting for the schedule for 2007. I would like to see the festival in June but I have no specific dates. I would like to make arrangements for 4 of us who, again, would like to be there. Please email me these dates. Thank you.
Dear Deana, I thought you might like to see the photo I took of you and one of Dean's youngest fans - my 3-year-old son, Lucas - at the Cincinnati Border's Bookstore. Thanks for such an interesting talk. Your dad's sense of humor really reminds me of my own dad. What a colorful life you have led as his daughter! Thanks again. Janyl Plante. (Actually - now that I’ve written this, I see that I cannot attach a photo to this email system. - if you would like to see it, let me know if there's an email address I can send it to.) Janyl Plante Dear Deana, The past few weeks I have heard a "wonderful voice" singing songs during my drive to work in Seattle, Washington between 4:00 am and 4:35 am on KIXI 910 am radio. When you and John Griffeth said it was you, I was stunned. Talent obviously runs in the Martin family! "Martin and Lewis" was a great comedy team. What a terrific voice your father had! And what great western movies he made! I checked your web site and saw the impressive "body of work" you have accomplished. Not having cable, I feel I have been living "in a vacuum". I was hoping there would be some talented artists to continue the tradition of excellence provided by the great singers of the past. You and Michael Buble are doing that! I will be adding your CD's to my CD player! I listen to you and Mr. Griffeth's show every morning. Could you please play Stevie Wonder's "For Once In My Life" (1985 or so edition) a couple times a week between 4:10 am and 4:35 am PST? I would very much appreciate it! It is an upbeat number with some "great" harmonica playing. I was told it was Stevie actually playing that harmonica. I have been unable to find this recording in any record store. Sincerely, Hi Deana, My family loves your book. I’m now reading it to my 6-year-old son, Hanneman. He loves your father’s music. It puts him to bed each night. Thank you. Adam Mcgraw Hi Deana, My name is Ray Drouin; I’m a music lover. I loved your fathers singing. I listen to the Music Of Your Life. Every now and then you sing a song and I love it. I would love to have an autographed picture of you. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you. Dear Deana, My wife and I just finished your book and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. I have been a record collector for years and always loved your dad's music. One of my favorites in the collection is the radio DR copy of the ““Rio Bravo”” release of "My Rifle, My Pony And Me," one of your dad's best, I think. On a lighter note, we also wanted to tell you that our late Chinese pug dogs, which were very finicky music critics, adored your dad’s music! They could only stand two artists: Dean Martin and cream (what a combination!) Both dogs would just melt when your father's voice came on. Again, your book was great and I hope you and your family have a great life. Mel & Debby Hanks Dear Deana, I want to say thank you. A few weeks ago I wrote and told you that The Four Lads were still touring and you took the time to mention it on the air with your busy schedule. After meeting your father many years ago I have to say you are just as thoughtful as he was God bless you Deana. If you are ever in New Hampshire please let me know I would be honored to meet you if you have any book signing in this area please let me know. Always, Hi Deana, A friend told me he had seen you on a local television show and that you had moved to Missouri near Branson. Will you be performing there or did you want a change-of-pace from living in Beverly Hills? Bernard Watts
Dear Deana, I am 53 yrs old. I remember watching your Dad’s TV show and his roasts, which I roared at. I was wondering if there is anyway to get videos of the " The Rat Pack Videos " especially the ones in Las Vegas. He was the coolest and smoothest. His music will live forever. He is surely missed.
