LENNY DEE -Dee Day


I've been wanting to post this forever,so here goes.Lenny Dee ,who lived just several miles down the road from me,was a pianist,organ and banjo player discovered by Red Foley.For me,the most interesting thing besides the spooky sounding keys,is the cover photo.If you notice the 2 girls flanking Lenny ,in the backseat ,look to be mentally handicapped.The 2 in the front seat that aren't driving,look to be twin female impersonators,the one driving has a dazed rat look in her eyes,and the one in the center rear,being straddled by Lenny,looks like she'll kiss the bunny!
The single is named, "Dee Day" (D-Day?) , the first cut is ,"Satan Takes A Holiday",(Lenny is Satan,lookit dem broads,he's takin' on vacation with him) a number near and dear to the heart of Anton LaVey,who I've also heard perform a version of this.The only original here is ,"Big Boogie Dee",a bouncy lil' ditty.Better than you might think. Hi-fi organ solos with a beat!
