Parents used to buy all of their meat from his father, Willy...
Way Way back when the store was Pratt and Riley's in the 50's
early 60's.... Old Riley, his butcher was one of the best around but you had to check your meat for cigar ashes, never saw that guy without one in his mouth... Now Willys Variety and drug hang out... I lived in Old Bennington and they lived on Bank Street across from the country club.... We hung out from time to time
when we were kids but mama Pratt was real strict about the old piano lessons.... His brother and sister also went through the same ordeal...
Dennis was and is one hell of a classical pianist and how the fck he ended up with Mel Tillis is beyond me.... I heard Mel showed up at some place around Albany where Dennis was playing and hired him on the spot... Been with him over 30 years now..... I would be willing to say his mother went into cardiac arrest when he told her what he was doing.... She refused to let him play in rock bands in the 60's.... Went from Wilhelm Kempff to ding-a-ding-dang-ding-ding-dan g-dang!!!!!!!!!!
Can't knock the dude, he made one hell of good living with that goat ropping music but he still composes and arranges his own stuff.... He also had the brains enough to get the hell out of Bennville....
This is him playing in California,(on the left)..
