Dennis
Michael Cook was born on October 15, 1948 at Georgetown
Hospital in Washington
DC. A graduate of Northwestern H.S. class of 1966
and
Columbia school of Broadcasting in 1968. Denny was
a year around player in Boy's club activities and
won
MVP awards in Baseball, Basketball and Football. Denny
also made the Varsity team at Northwestern H.S.
Along
with Sports "THERE WAS
MUSIC".
In
1956 at the age of 8 years old a friend came by and
asked if I would come down to his house and
listen to a 45rpm. The song was Hound Dog by Elvis.
Denny's parents Eddie and Rita at this time were the
proud parents of 5 children and on there way to
8 children so the luxury of a record player would not
surface for me until Christmas 1960. Our family
did have a T.V. set and I did see the King on the Ed
Sullivan show. I owned the set after school and grew
up with American Bandstand, Buddy Dean, Milt Grant
and
when the younger siblings wanted the set I was on the
playing field.
Denny
has performed with one Band. In 1974 he joined Harvey
Hubcap and the Do Ron Ron as a bass player and
soon later went out front as a lead Vocalist. As we
approach the year 2007 I hope with the grace from above
to continue performing with "THE FABULOUS HUBCAPS"
a band consisting of some of the greatest talent
in this country.
