Denny has set the beat with his bass for nearly 70 years. The Clevelander first appeared on the upright bass in his teens. He performed with such Cleveland-Style polka talents as Bob Kravos, Milan Racanovic, Ken Zalar’s Captain’s Crew and Hall of Famers Stan Blout and Frankie Spetich. Denny often accompanied these bands on TV’s popular Polka Varieties show, which was syndicated around the country. Denny also recorded with many polka groups. He can be heard on Stan Blout’s classic album, “Polka Sounds of the ‘70s,” featuring the all-time hit “Waltz of Love.” He was a long-time member of Local No. 4 of the Cleveland Musicians Union.
