Denny Laine

Check out the new Denny Laine single " Meant To Be". I think it is fab!

Me & Denny in Atlanta area venue Aug. 2016. He’s signing the set list. Steve Holley was there too as his drummer and let me have one of his drumsticks which he signed for me!

@kㅤ Thanks! I told my friend who lives in Nashville.

Denny is an accomplished clarinet player too -- nice work on Picasso's Last Words doing deeper drollery probably on an Eb clarinet (and it seems he's double-tracking), and old-timey high clarinet soloing in the background of Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five.

I looked in the book that came with the Archive edition and
info was the same as what I wrote. I also have it in vinyl, CD and 25th Anniversary Edition! Haven’t checked those yet!

I can't find my vinyl album! I know it's somewhere... It was likely on the inner sleeve, not on the back of the album cover. All these years that little memory of Denny playing the clarinets has just stuck with me; I know I got it from somewhere...
