My wife has Herb Alpert on her iPod. Great stuff.Not especially a fan of “Hang on sloopy” but “Sweet Home Alabama” you can crank that one up anytime!I also like “Call Me” by Chris Montez and just about any song by Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass.
he’s a fantastic artist. you know, neither the Tijuana Brass nor the TJB had anyone from south of the border in the lineup. nor was Herb himself.
Herb himself made the comment that the " TJB consisted of 4 bagels, 2 pizzas and an American cheese. " There was another group The Baja Marimba Band. The group’s leader, Julius Wechter said there were as many Mexicans in his group as there were in the Tijuana Brass.
In the beginning the TJB was only a studio group made up of some anonymous musicians, but when they became popular Herb Alpert had to hire some musicians so he could have a concert stage show.Aggh… I’m no music buff but statements like this make me itch, sorry. Can we all please stop saying things like ‘today’s music?’ I mean, we’ve got over hundreds of musicians from across the world. Can’t say I find it charitable to say none of them have any soul. :\
Oh dear, joke completely lost on you? Bob Seger?
Graaah! See? Told you I wasn’t much of a music buff. :crying:Oh dear, joke completely lost on you? Bob Seger?
“Today’s music ain’t got the same soul! I like that old time rock n’ roll!”
It’s a song. No one was being uncharitable. It was a joke!
Beauty is completely objective since it all comes from the same place.
I’ll say this: I find most Christian music produced today rather cheesy. I find it embarrassing. It’s well intentioned, but oh so poorly done – this is similar to most movies that are Christian themed; the directing, editing, script and acting forces me to do the stink eye (save for Fireproof which was surprisingly solid).Uh, no. It doesn’t.
Where else would beauty come from, in your opinion, other than Beauty Himself?Uh, no. It doesn’t.
Try to describe what God looks like. Oh wait, you can’t. Not even the word ‘beauty’ alone is theologically sufficient for the omnipotent.Where else would beauty come from, in your opinion, other than Beauty Himself?
As the joke goes “There was a child drawing a picture. His mom asked ‘What are you drawing?’ The child said ‘God’. Mom said ‘Nobody knows what God looks like!’ The child answers ‘They will when I’m finished with this picture!’”Try to describe what God looks like. Oh wait, you can’t. Not even the word ‘beauty’ alone is theologically sufficient for the omnipotent.
Happens to the best of us! I promise I’m laughing with you!
