Dear Don,
I wish you would ease up on your golf and sing more of my songs. Even though Dean Martin thinks your golf game is tasty, I'd rather hear you singing my songs, or anybody's songs. I can't remember you singing anything I didn't like.
Stay well,
Rod McKuen (singer, poet, song writer)
P.S. Have you ever wondered why Dean tried to keep you on the golf course?

The two albums with Willie Nelson are notable for the obvious camaraderie and rapport between the two veterans. Willie’s distinctive nasal twang blends well with Don’s dulcet tones and these are two fun CDs. Veteran Boots Randolph’s saxophone contributes some tasty fills.
