He was arguably the most successful American musician of the 1960’s.  His albums with the Tijuana Brass were staples of nearly every music collection. And for today on K-Chuck Radio, I want to bring you the music of legendary trumpeter Herb Alpert.  And the best way to start is with… THE LONELY BULL This was…

Today I have a very special K-Chuck Radio, seeing as it’s Memorial Day and all.  The songs in today’s blog-cast were inspired by those who have served in conflicts foreign and domestic.  So as we remember those who served, and those who gave, let’s also remember them in song and in melody.  Including… THE MILLS…
