Publix commercial - Pat Metheny's "Last Train Home"

[morrisonAV]

I've seen the PMG almost every time they played the Tampa Bay area since 1977 or '78 and in recent years, when he introduces "Last Train Home", he almost laughingly introduces it as "The Publix Song". He seems genuinely amused at the association and not in a bad way. The song brings a tear to my eye every year it runs. They may not be running it these days as I have yet to see it this holiday season.

The song "Last Train Home" was used in a Christmas commercial by the Florida-based supermarket chain Publix, featuring relatives traveling to Florida by train for Christmas.[citation needed] The commercial aired every holiday season from 1987 to 1996. "Last Train Home"I miss it always take me back to better times
