Dennis Day 10″ LP

Dennis Day was a very fine Irish tenor but he was best known as the butt of jokes when he was with Jack Benny both on radio and TV.

   I definitely remember Dennis Day. I fanatically watched Jack Benny as a kid. Even did a painting of him once as well as a salad bowl: http://www.bubblestheartist.com/ceramics/jackbenny-saladbowl.html

   Dennis had an excellent multi-media career for his day.

   I actually had 3 encounters with Jack Benny. At a Spike Jones concert in San Francisco at intermission I looked down the first level from my balcony seat just as Jack Benny was looking up at me and he acknowledged me with a nod. He was with Mary Livingstone. On Okinawa in 1952, he was entertaining the troops in a driving rain on the air base tarmac I was sitting under my poncho. Finally, I was walking into Harrah’s South Shore and bumped into him. We both said Excuse me. 15 seconds later, I wish I had said “Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Mr. Benny” like Mr. Kitsell would have.
