In the mid 90’s I worked for Warner Music Group’s distribution arm called WEA. Miami was an important market for music then with the largest music wholesaler Bassin Distributors here, Peaches was based here, Blockbuster Music here. and Spec’s Music were all here. We had our annual Christmas dinner at Joe’s in 1995 and I remember finding out that a TV commercial was shot that night. Only I didn’t know it until dozens of people came up to me for several years afterwards and said they saw me in the Joe’s TV commercial. To this day I’ve never seen it, but I’ve been assured by people of unquestioned honesty and integrity that they’ve seen it. 🙂
