    Rise is playing on 94.9 The Wave as I speak - and it's the full album version too!

    While vacationing in Seattle, we ducked into a little dessert shop so the wife could get some gelato. While waiting, I heard Herb on whatever music was playing in the shop, a mixture of Latin/Brazilian stuff. It was an odd track, "Rosemary", one of the two bonus tracks from the Shout! reissue of WHIPPED CREAM.

    The Weather Channel was playing "Walk, Don't Run" this weekend on the Weather-On-The-8's segment.

    A guy playing a trumpet on the promenade towards COMERICA PARK where the Detroit Tigers play was--Believe it or Not?--playing "Rise"...!!!!

    On today's Tournament of Roses Parade, the Shriners float featured a cartoonish-looking taxi. Herb's "Tijuana Taxi" was the musical accompaniment.

    I'm not sure if the parade onlookers heard the music or whether it was added to the NBC telecast.

    On my flight back to LAX from Southern Florida yesterday I was treated to "Side Steppin'" on the in-flight "Jazz" channel.

    Not only did the parade goers hear it Harry, it blasted during the next float sponsored by the Lutheran Association, "You've Got A Friend In Jesus" with a real live guy dressed poorly (IMHO) as "Jesus" waving from the float.

    F@#$ing surreal Harry. F-in surreal. :shock:

    While I didn't hear Herb's Christmas album again played on the radio this Christmas season, I did hear Herb's "the Bell That Couldn't Jingle" at a New Years Eve party on the cable station Sounds of the Season!!!!

    I heard "A Taste Of Honey" played on some weather report station on TV... But the wife was flipping channels too fast & I usually fall asleep in front of the tube so it was really too late to stop her in time to see what was broadcast, while the song (a few seconds, that I heard) played...! :|

    "Lonely Bull" & "Tijuana Taxi" while watching "Matchstick Men" last night.

    Great, underrated Ridley Scott film. Terrific Soundtrack CD IMHO.:cool:

    I was at a AAA game today watching the Iowa Cubs playing the Round Rock Express and they played the accelerated part of "Zorba The Greek" quite a bit whenever the Express had a rally going. It didn't help, though, as the Cubs won 8-6.

    "Zorba" has been played a lot in the World Series, especially at the Texas Ranger's ballpark. It seems to have been working for the Rangers, who lead the Cards 3 games to 2.

    Herb Alpert's "The Christmas Song" was what was easily catching my ear, as we've switched to playing Christmas music at my store...

    We spent the weekend in San Antonio and on our way back yesterday morning we stopped at a Denny's for breakfast - and heard "Jingle Bell Rock" by the TJB as we waited for our food.

    We heard "Jingle Bell Rock" while looking for something in Home Depot the other day.
