Anyone who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s will no doubt remember Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass “Whipped Cream and Other Delights” album from 1965 — if not for Alpert’s masterful trumpet playing, then for the unforgettable album cover featuring a woman dressed mostly in whipped cream.
The model, Dolores Erickson, now lives in Longview, and she’ll be at Boomtown Records in Aberdeen from 1 to 3 p.m. today as part of National Record Store Day. If you have a copy of the album, she’ll sign it for you free. If you don’t, Boomtown has them and you can get a signed copy for $20.
In addition, Boomtown owner Troy Richart is hosting local musicians from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the store’s intimate Acoustic Lounge.
Here’s the lineup:
10 a.m. — Emmanuel Simmons
11 a.m. — Casey Bronson
noon — John Brunton
1 p.m. — Ryan Mo
2 p.m. — Conner Nuckols
3 p.m. — Jarod Peterson
4 p.m. — Chris Thomas
The store also is featuring the work of famed rock photographer Darrell Westmoreland, who has captured the likes of the Rolling Stones, Heart, AC/DC and Alice in Chains. Among the works on sale is a limited-edition 20×30 canvas Nirvana print that features Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in Santa hats backstage at the Paramount Theater in Seattle after a Halloween 1991 concert. The print, limited to 500 copies, is signed by Westmoreland, whose studio is in Montesano.
