julius wechter

This question makes me wish I was here when Mr. Julius Wechter visited the forum before his untimely passing-Does anyone know why he was unaccredited on the albums recorded by the original TJB, but is credited as an official member of the Reorganized lineup? Did he or Mr. Alpert want it that...

hello again people, just going through my baja marimba band singles and I have 2 with the picture sleeves along comes mary/ & yes sir, that's my baby. so my question with the catalog numbers for the bmb singles like from the almo international which I have 2 of them, then the blue label series...

Although the Julius Wechter tribute in New York was cancelled, the BMB is fresh on our minds. What would be their best albums, singles, and so on? Like to get true fans responses! :D

Many years ago I thought I heard the song Sleigh Ride on the radio by the Baja Marimba Band. Was I mistaken? Did they do a Christmas album? Many Thanks, Jal

Egad, I just realized I have the entire Chet Baker & the Mariachi Brass LP collection. However, that’s not the subject. I wanted to reminisce about a live Baja concert I saw…I think it was the summer of ’67…at the Chicago Opera House. Julius and the boys were an opening act for warbler...

Hi Everyone, I just got a catalog from Heartland yesterday and it includes an EDI 3 disc set of 36 tunes by the Baja Marimba Band. It's $29.95. It just might eventually be available at Costco for about 10 bucks less. :o Larry

hi guys, Tried to log on to the website, after re-reading all the wonderful tributes that were written about Julius. Since I don't have a password I decided it would be best to have you post for me instead. "We've made a definite commitment to have the 2nd "Julius Wechter: A...

Hi All! Cissy & David Wechter have informed me that the east coast Tribute To Julius is tentatively scheduled for March 3rd at The Danny Kaye Theatre in New York City.

Neil I had a great time that Sunday evening. The high points for me were getting a taste for how the original BMB performed, with the members slouching onto the stage and arguing amongst themselves, seeing some of my favourite music perfromed live by people whom I had only known through...

I've just posted a couple of photos from the Julius Wechter tribute over at the Baja website: http://www.bajamarimba.com. Should have a couple more over the next day or two, including some mug shots of a few of our regulars. ;) -= N =-

The Tourette's Syndrome Association has asked Bruce to consider doing the Wechter Tribute in NYC, so those of you on the right coast who weren't able to make Glendale may be in luck, after all! :lol:

I realize that as I write this, the tribute is still in progress; but inquiring minds would like to know...how was it? I hope everything went off as planned, and that everyone had a wonderful time, and took lots of pictures...Godspeed everyone home safely, and God's blessing on Cissy, David and...

Forwarded from Bruce, here's the final program for Sunday: :) Hosts: Mitzi McCall and Charlie Brill Martin Denny (via tape) Christa Jackson (with the legendary Hal Blaine joining the band, on drums) Sally Kellerman Sue Raney Paul Keith and Paul Kreppel Sarah Weinstein and Scott Camden...

Okay. My luck has changed drastically in the last few days (some things good, some bad) but the best thing is IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO GET TO GO TO THE TRIBUTE. So I was wondering who else is going? Can everyone planning to attend post here? I plan to go to Bob's Big Boy in Burbank after...

I just got the Rondor release of the BMB called I'll Marimba You - A Portrait In Music. At first glance I thought "Cool! They even have "Brasilia" on CD at last!". But when I put it on, I've found that most of these tunes are from vinyl! You can hear some light scratches and clicks throughout...

I received this reply to my question regarding a video tape of the upcoming Julius Wechter Tribute concert from Cissy Wechter this morning. There will definately be a video shot, but it will not be for sale. She also says she would like other fans to be able to share in the night in some way...

This is just a placeholder in the new forum for discussions about the upcoming Tribute...only a week away! We'll start a new thread here if any attendees need to report back from the show. Any last minute questions about the concert? Post them here! -= N =-
