The story
Owner of
Dean Martin Dennis was born in Sheffield during the 1960’s. His musical high jinks started at a very early age, charming his proud parents with the rhythms he made with his rattle. Their pride changed to concern as young Dean’s need for music grew and the rumpus resonating from the family home began to disturb the neighbours. His anxious parents decided to guide Dean’s talent towards the work of God. In preparation Dean was given a guitar and sent for some strict instruction. Dean started to perform every Sunday when he would enthrall the congregation of his parent’s church with his version of “He’s Coming Down”.
One Sabbath Dean cast away his Sunday suit, clad himself in jeans and sent a wave of panic through his father’s flock as he started pounding out ska riffs. Disappointment was added to his father’s dismay as it dawned on him that his progeny would never be the next Chuck Berry. Caught between his father’s accusing frowns and the dread another guitar lesson playing “Greensleeves” Dean freed himself through the ritualistic burning of his guitar.
