30 years ago, 1984/4/6, Portland's Pioneer Square was inaugurated. Today, 1984 free cupcakes were distributed, some umbrellas and 2 hours of sing-along led by Pink Martini's Thomas Lauderdale and China Forbes. 2 of the Von Trapps kids were also present. At the later half, Carlos Kalmar joined his colleagues. They ended with a performance of "Be Happy", a title song of their latest album. It was very good.
