Morry was a jokester and loved to make people smile. He told hundreds of stories, many in the first person, and the family never knew if he was joking or not.

From opening for the Ramones to hanging at an A-list movie star's mansion to being in the presence of rock "n' roll's most celebrated (living) guitarist at his granddaughter's christening, Dando can upstage pretty much any of his peers in terms of life experiences. Of course, he worked his way up to these worldwide luminaries via his association with local ones. Many of the latter feature on the new Lemonheads album, "Love Chant" (Fire Records), including J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), John Felice (The Real Kids), John Strohm (Blake Babies), and former Lemonhead (and Blake Baby)…...
