2013.3.30. Sing-along with Pink Martini

A gloriously sunny and warm Saturday (maybe 76°F?). Pink Martini and friends lead a Sing-Along at Pioneer Square of Portland downtown. 3-5pm. Thomas Lauderdale on piano, China Forbe announcing. Former governor Barbara Roberts was also singing on stage. A surprising participant is Von Trapp family, great grand children of Captain Von Trapp of Sound of Music.

Towards the end, after those little children left the stage, the lead singers - China Forbe and Storm Large did some more interesting vocal arrangements.

Cherry blossom by the river is about a couple of days past their prime. Still quite lovely. Saturday market, and pub row on SW Ankeny st. Lots of people. Quite convivial.
