Pink Martini, We Drink You Up

You want to know what the best companion is to physical labor?  It’s a martini.

No, not the drink, sillies.  We still want to keep our twenty fingers and toes, ya know.  I’m talking about the band Pink Martini.  

Several years ago when Martin and I became avid chop saw users, my father-in-law told us about this “little orchestra” from Portland, Oregon.  Our life was changed forever.  If I had been a teenager, I would have been jumping up and down, screaming and begging this band to sign my body.  But I am not.  Instead I’m just a married woman with a huge list of work projects and an aching back who isn’t afraid to admit:

We play Pink Martini’s music over and over.  Sometimes we sing.  Sometimes we even dance.  It never gets old.

So today, instead of talking about kitchens and work projects, I thought I’d share our favorite escape with you.  Here’s Pink Martini playing on David Letterman:


 

You can download more of their music or buy their CDs on Amazon if you feel inspired… or you know, keep hitting repeat on this clip as Martin and I may or may not have already done three times in the last ten minutes.  Happy listening!

    Katie, my friend, Amber, at Blue Mango is a big Pink Martini fan. They’re a great party group, aren’t they?

    Wow – I can’t believe our little local band made it on to David Letterman. People here have been enjoying them for years. They were always a little too different for my taste, but i’m glad to see such a nice group of people are making it.

    I don’t know, I think I still might go for the drink. Not smart, but oh so good. Cool that a local band is doing well.
