cool... lets jam...

I'd have to get my embrasure in shape for any extended playing. Other than that I could do it, you never lose the rest of the technique. Iceman is also playing now... Using my old horn (Conn)

My buddy has had this "album art" framed in his apartment since college. I dont think he has ever bothered to investigate the music.

Herb Alpert and the Ohio Players always had hot sexy girls on the covers..
Ohio Player were downright pornographic for the day...

I don't know if i already posted this... :)

But when i was at my "jazz" music camp this summer - we were asked to spend an hour contemplating music from our first memory that wasn't like a nursery rhyme - forward to that moment.
The whole crew was walking around the location - sitting by the stream, in the field or whatever... I went into the listening room and put ITunes on random.. Cause i could pinpoint the music and wasn't feeling all contemplative..

When we reconvened - people were saying cool stuff like Miles and the Beatles. I was asked and said some of the lame 60's pop stuff we've been BSing about.. Herb Alpert, Glenn Campell, John Denver, Allan Sherman, Spike Jones, etc... I got some weird looks from my fellow musicians. Until one of the band members said that was some of his first music he remembers as well...

re; Herb Alpert... Maybe the music style was distatsteful but he's no doubt one of the top trumpet players in the world.
His arranging of commercial material got him played everywhere = the deepest pockets around. Not to say my favorite stuff....but who am I.
