Just watched an episode of Celebrity Bowling Greg, Marcia, Peter and Jan lol

1. Fun tune!

This is reminiscent of Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass, but maybe even more antiseptic. (True confession: I was obsessed with TJB starting with “The Lonely Bull,” and probably still have copies of their first four or five LPs.) I didn’t realize there were other bands mining the same veins. And trying to popularize the fluegelhorn no less!

Here’s a nice profile of “King Richard” (Dick Behrke):

Amazing that there’s a Bobby Darin connection!

2. I had to look it up, I thought it was Herb Alpert!

I am one of Herb Alpert's biggest fans and I hope he knows it lol, Tijuana Brass and solo. Thanks for the tip and there was Brass Ring for the Benson and Hedge's ad I thought was Herb at one time.

3. Oh man, what a classic!

And that B&H ad campaign is the epitome of Madison Avenue hip, when cigarettes wouldn’t kill you and the consumer was king — and willing subject.

4. Oh for sure and absolutely everyone smoked back then

Grocery stores believe it or not!

5. Ha, for real! I'm old enough to remember.

Even on airplanes as I recall, although I didn’t start traveling by air until after that era.

Fun reminiscing about the “good” old days!
