An interesting Baja Marimba Band album on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350117481159&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123#ebayphotohosting It looks like an alternate picture from the "Rides Again" photo shoot. But from what I can tell, the people in it look very much...

I have been in touch with former A&M photographer Jim McCrary, who e-mailed some vintage Julius Wechter & Baja Marimba Band photos. I asked him if I could share some of them at A&M Corner and he agreed. Here is his web site http://www.jimmccrary.com/ - I believe that it is possible to purchase...

I caught the BMB last week on the American Life TV network's showing of "The Jackie Gleason Show" entitled "The Mexican Hat Trick" as part of a Mexican town square production number with the June Taylor Dancers. They performed a medley of 2 tunes, one of which I think was "Pedro's Porch" (but I...

I've been away from here a while (women can be a problem! LOL), but I came across 2 amazing YouTube videos, the first is the Baja Marimba Band in Maxwell House commercials, unreal! http://youtube.com/watch?v=9de97cfUewA The second is a 1967 A&M All Stars video, I hope I'm not repeating...

I came very late to the Baja Marimba Band "party". For years, I mistakenly pigeon-holed them as a TjB knock-off, bargain-basement variety. Needless to say, it's now one of my greatest regrets that I never paid them any attention back then. As a result, I've only really been listening to BMB...

The "Fresh Air" release is terrific, will there be more soon? I certainly am hoping...

I was just wondering about the Baja Marimba Band's Back lp on Bell Records. Why was it called Baja Marimba Band's Back when their last record was in 1971. Why a so called "reunion" after two years! Maybe the original band didn't record on As Time Goes By in 1971 and was back to record this 1973...

I'm a big fan of the BMB, and this is the first time I've ever seen a video of them. They are performing Brasilia, but I'm not sure what the show is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd33UYdUzQU

It seems there is a 7 inch EP BMB album, that has a remake cover of the Baja Marimba Band Rides Again album. I found a picture of it on an A&M site, but it was too small to make out. Does anyone have anymore information about this ep, or a large photo?

I thought I'd post this question to see what albums are you're favorite. I added compilations because I believe they count as albums.

Saw this on ebay, and was surprised to find no bids on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/BAJA-MARIMBA-BAND-SIGNED-8X10-PHOTO-1960S-POPULAR-GRP_W0QQitemZ140083838259QQihZ004QQcategoryZ2367QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Sorry for the long URL. NJB

I'm not sure if this is the album on CD or another "Best of". But a "Fresh Air" is coming out on CD in Japan in May. Jeff

I was going through my Baja Marimba Band cds and just for kicks put in my needle-drop of "Watch Out!". Much to my surprise, the CDDB function on Windows Media Player popped up with a window listing the title to select: lo and behold, one of the choices was "Watch Out!" Now, I know that it was...
