    When I was in grade school my dad would drive us to school and play this on the car's 8 track. I swear I was convinced the faster my dad drove the faster the song played. Miss you dad.

    Saw Herb Alpert last night at the Count Basie in New Jersey last night. At age 87, he still can blow with the best of them. Great show and I was lucky to have front row seats.
