I just saw it too, at least if it is the Super Bowl commercial. You were playing your own axe, right? You didn't get your hands on the pimped out Sousa did you? That thing makes bloke's look like an old maid. Serious gold leaf! Good sounds even if it was tweaked.
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

I originally thought you just forgot to send a link to the commercial. Then someone said they saw it on the SB broadcast. Now, my wife just HAD to watch every ^%@#@( commercial and I never saw anything for Ritz. Am I missing something? 8)

I dunno, looks kind of flaky to me.

Is there a longer version of the song around? - seems like it wanted to go somewhere!

and was that a mylar bell cover (or was it added in digitally?)

Ben will need to chime in on the pimped out Sousa, but I would assume the only thing he saw was the inside of a recording studio somewhere in NYC. I would also assume that was a non-playing actor jumping around with the Sousa around his neck. Since all the horns had the gold leaf treatment, it was probably just glued on plastic/mylar glitz material.

The video is blurry, but I just assumed the horns were digitally 'enhanced' to look they they had Ritz Crackers on them. (Hence my "flaky" comment... you know, crackers are kind of flaky... nevermind) I suppose they could be giant sequins though.
