Wouldn't it be nice for these guys and/or Herb to have been guest on Jack's show back I the Black 'n' White days? Definitely a long-overdue...!

Imagine Mel Blanc in his sombrero hidden among the Baja band, with him and Jack doing the "si" routine!

Awesome!!!

That's cool! I wonder how in the world they got Jack Benny? Although he did a lot of TV in those days on the Carson show, especially. (Plus, maybe he was a BMB fan.)

I believe he was a BAJA fan and they opened for him in Las Vegas.
