"Dancing Bear" was an early favourite of mine (1st album I believe).

I had an opportunity to speak briefly with Denny when he was a guest EmCee at a fundraiser in Oakville, 'bout 12 years back. The (less than impressive) organizers gave him a few scripted lines to use and allowed him to do about 4 songs; what a criminal underuse of talent!

The songs he did struck me as very good and very affecting (they'd all been written since the death of wife a couple of years before). I wish I could have heard more, and at least had the chance to tell him that. He struck me as a very thoughtful man and seemed very much a gentleman.

Another of the good ones gone, I fear.
