Didja know that Delores Ericson, the model for that cover was 3 months pregnant when the shot was taken?

Didja know that if you look real close, you can see the towel she was wearing under all that shaving cream?  The only whipped cream was on her finger and in her hair.

Have you heard the new album REWHIPPED Herb released this year?  It's a remix of the original 1965 album, and it's big on the jazz charts.  Nice cover update with Guess Jeans girl Bree Condon, too...this time, there's a gatefold...

If you're really into Herb, like I am, you should visit www.amcorner.com...lots of info about the Tijuana Brass and other A&M groups, like the Baja Marimba Band and Sergio Mendes  and Brasil 66, etc.

Herb and the Brass (among others) were the soundtrack of my childhood.  My parents were "hipper" than I ever dreamt, given that all their musical tastes have stood the test of time.  I still remember watching them and their friends in our basement dancing, music blaring, laughter blaring louder, alcohol flowing, cigarettes burning (it was the sixties, and that was pretty much the norm), and now, with both of them in their winter years, those memories are priceless to me.

In addition to REWHIPPED, several albums from the TJB heyday  1962-1968 have been remastered and are available on CD from Shout! Factory records.

The titles include:
THE LONELY BULL
SOUTH OF THE BORDER
WHIPPED CREAM [the original album]
GOING PLACES!
WHAT NOW MY LOVE
SRO
SOUNDS LIKE...
HERB ALPERT'S NINTH
THE BEAT OF THE BRASS
CHRISTMAS ALBUM
LOST TREASURES [a collection of previously unreleased tracks]

I always have one of these albums in my CD player in my car...makes for great cruising music.  Since several of these albums have never been available on CD before, the sound is fantastic!

They're easy to find at Amazon.com; some bookstores have them, like Barnes and Noble or Borders...Best Buy and Fry have them, too...

The albums are discussed in detail at www.amcorner.com

I hope I haven't sounded like an advertisement for Herb Alpert...but this music was a huge part of my formative years, just as it was for a lot of us.  Here's a great chance to relive the magic.

I have digitized old Herb Alpert and the TJB LP's.  Truly great stuff.

Yeah...sorry again about that, C....seems a pretty trite sentiment I know, but it's the best I can do....other than hope and pray that things along those lines (w/ Gretchen, etc.) are going okay again....
