Hey y’all! Here’s one for the music lovers and this one is definitely on my want list. This awesome music is brought to us by a twelve-member “little orchestra” known as Pink Martini. Their latest CD is titled “Hey Eugene!” and the following is an excerpt taken from their website.

“Pink Martini is like a romantic Hollywood musical of the 1940s or 50s but with a global perspective which is modern, says founder and artistic director Thomas M. Lauderdale.  We bring melodies and rhythms from different parts of the world together to create something which is new and beautiful.  At one moment, you feel like you’re in the middle of a samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, and in the next moment, you are suddenly in a French music hall of the 1930s or in a palazzo in Napoli.  It’s like an urban musical travelogue.  One of our goals is to make music which has broad appeal to people, no matter who they are or where they come from. We play the same set of music wherever we go, whether it’s in a small farming community in Oregon or in France or Turkey or with a symphony orchestra. My hope is that we are creating music which can be turned up or down, and played on almost any occasion, from background music of a love affair to vacuuming around the house, Lauderdale says.”

Their CD’s and t-shirts can be purchased through their website.
