baja marimba band

I am happy to have worked on a new two hour radio special saluting Julius Wechter. It was great to re-visit so many fun tunes and arrangements. The special will air twice this weekend (10/6 & 10/7) on AM 1510 KSPA in the Inland Empire, and AM 1450 KFSD in San Diego. The show airs Saturday at...

Here is something fun for Julius Wechter fans:

I found a label on the internet for a Canadian release of the song, Man That's Coffee it was issued in Canada on A&M 300X. The song apparently was created for this commercial. Can't figure how to attach a JPEG to this message or I would. I call your attention this this song as it does not appear...

Years ago, I transferred all of the A&M Baja Marimba Band material to CD using a standalone CD recorder and some fairly clean albums. At the time I made these, only the DIGITALLY MASTERED BEST and the Collectors Choice CDs existed commonly, so whenever a track from one of those came up I used...

For a long time now I have been trying to figure out what Baja Marimba Band track was used as Ben Hunter's Movie Matinee theme. Ben was on Noon to 2:30 M-F on KTTV Ch. 11 here in so Cal up until his death in 1980. Anyone from the LA area have any suggestions as to what tune it might have been...

Here is something that I'd like to share with you. The audio is something that I edited together a few years back and then later, I decided to create the video to go along with it. So to honor our late friend, the incomparable Julius Wechter, here is the BAJA MEGAMIX.

The song "Ghostriders in the Sky" is ending with a commentary of "now that was rough" I think it is Julius Wechter.

From an e-mail that I received today from Bruce Kimmel - the material is with the mastering engineer and the release is expected perhaps in December. Also for those who may be interested, here is a link to Bruce's ABC TV interview he recently did...

Hola Amigos!!! Does anybody own "Can You Dig It" on a 45? I know it's rumored to exist as a white label promo but never seen one anywhere. I've been looking for it for a while, and it never shows up on ebay, Craigslist, or Moerer's... but I know it's gotta be out there somewhere! And is it a...

I've been wondering lately about exactly which years, the BMB preformed live. We know the first touring band was formed sometime during the Watch Out sesions in 1966 and went all through the sixties. Didn't they last longer than the TJB..? Another album comes out as The Baja Marimba Band in...
