From the back cover: About Dennis Farnon

Caution! Men Swinging is a radical departure from Dennis Farnon's first album for RCA Victor, Magoo In Hi-Fi (LPM/EPA 1-1362). Those who have heard his whimsical compositions in that album will probably be quite surprised at his versatility in presenting this great, swinging session. The two albums, however, do have some characteristics in common, namely, inventiveness and humor.

Born in Canada, Farnon is a well-schooled musician who cut his arranging teeth writing for dance bands and radio shows in the U.S. and Canada. His original compositions have been performed here and in England. In recent years he has done background scores for many UPA Films, in addition to arranging and conducting backgrounds for top vocal and instrumental artists. – Bill Olofson
