How About Us | What's New
January 2004
| Dennis
DeYoung continues to remind us why his unique voice and memorable
melodies have elevated so many of his songs into classics. Whether
with Styx, going solo, doing Broadway and now performing with an
orchestra, Dennis has covered much diverse musical ground in his
career. Currently, you will find him on tour
and on television
as well. The new 2CD live album and DVD beautifully
celebrate 30 years of fine songwriting. |

As Dennis says, "winners are
losers who gave it one more try". That certainly was the case
here as all our eventual winners initially lost the contest
because of question #2. However, our small hint below seemed to
"show them the way."

Mansfield,
OH Radio, September 2001 (56K Stream) |
 |
| Dave
has decided to release this rare interview from his personal
collection. This interview was recorded on September 26, 2001. As
you know it was just two weeks after 9-11. Dave was the Program
Director for WYHT. Dave and his staff decided to raise money for
the 9-11 victims. They held a request-a-thon. People pledged money
to hear ANY song they wanted. Dave asked Dennis if he would
"perform" a song via phone for the highest bidder of
Dennis' services. Here is a rare interview that Dennis gave just
after 9-11. It's very insightful, and typical DeYoung genius.
You'll also hear Dennis perform live via phone for the winner.
Enjoy! (20min.) |

Bluefield,
WV Radio, March 2003 (56K Stream) |
| Dave Harris
has taken a March 2003 interview with Dennis out of his personal
archives.
This was conducted during Dave's morning radio show with his
co-host Rob Humphrey. This is not a Retro Rewind related
interview. This was Dave on his morning show in Virginia. The war
with Iraq had just started so the mood was a little low key.
Dennis was funny as ever. Enjoy! (11min.) |
