Dennis Haseley: Hello, my name is Dennis Haseley. It rhymes with paisley. As I'm interested in the origins and the history of things, let me tell you about my name. Dennis is a European version of the name of the Greek God of Wine and Joy, Dionysus. My last name, Haseley, is composed of two parts. The second, Ley, means a clearing in a forest. The first, Hasel, is from the hazel tree. Put together, it means a clearing in a hazel forest, where sometimes, in my imagination I am, with great joy, dancing.
