The hits just keep coming! Another new piece coming out this week – the very famous (in the 60’s and 70’s) sounds of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass – “Spanish Flea.”

I know your music folder is filling up, but we have lots of time until our Saturday, May 14, 2022, 2:00 pm concert. And since we will be the only performers (no orchestra participation this time, again), we’ll have to fill up the whole program. No worries. Much of our music is already coming along.

Including the sample for “Rhythm of the Winds”, and also THE original sound of “Spanish Flea.”
