Whipped Cream & Other Delights
A lot has been said about Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass, and there's a lot more to be said about them. Their popularity has grown enoumously in the two years since admirers started shouting "OLE" for "The Lonely Bull."
It began with the teenagers, we thought. But at the Brass' debut as Concert artists in San Francisco, we noticed, to our delight, that it's easier to skin an amoeba than to catalog the "Typical Tijuana Brass Fan." The teens were there, but so were the "hippies" and the "squares," the "little old ladies" and the screen starlets, the celebrities and those who make them celebrities. In fact, one admirer, who looked as thought he stepped from a page in Esquire said, "You would think that a lot of these people would be home watching the man who serves the bubbles."
We noticed another joyous thing. Herb Alpert was something special. His good looks and sensitivity brought and immediate response from the industry. The word is that Herb Alpert could make stardom in films. The agents, bookers, managers and publicists picked on Herb and the Brass and the phones started ringing. Life, Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass are in happy harmony.
There is a triumphant atmosphere surrounding the Brass today. The pleasure that comes from performing for enthusiasts belongs to them. Our joys are compounded by your acceptance. An so, on the behalf of Herb and the Tijuana Brass, we humbly than you for listening.
