In all actuality there was no Tijuana Brass so to speak. Studio musicians did the work and when Alpert did something live they imported some musicians to back him up. At the studio it was a group who were called "The Wrecking Crew" and backed more artists recording than we have time to list or...

"Whipped Cream" is the album title.

With all of these first due jobs lately, 251 should have the "Quad" as they did years ago with the additional manpower. Of course, it will never happen but it's a conversation starter. lol

Tony was a FF in L130

Long run for 295 to get in first. Probably 295 and 273 got in together. The "Spirits" of 296 and 272 must have had a good laugh.

Continue to Rest In Peace to all and be assured you will never be forgotten!

233 relocated to 307? 223 used to be a Marine Company way back when.

Elmer, you're correct but what happened with that test......well, if you were around then you would remember.

Plymouth Valiant or a Dodge Dart?

Yup, in an index card tin box at the housewatch desk.

Lately, quite a few jobs up that way. Wilkes-Barre, Kingston and other locals.

Arlene Smith, lead singer of The Chantels (Maybe) passed away this past Wednesday 7/29/26 at the age of 84. Rest In Peace and thanks for the memories.

Was train traffic halted on the El?
