After celebrating Les Baxter's birthday last month, it's time to do the same for another "architect of exotica" – Martin Denny (April 10, 1911 - March 2, 2005).
Plenty of places out there to learn all about Denny... so here are a few links to everything you need to know. Mix up another cocktail, put on your best aloha shirt, and crank up the bird calls...
