I dunno. I'm sad I didn't like China's solo work better.

You get an album that's outstanding and then you get one that sounds like they phoned it in. I'll check out Taarka; the name alone intrigues me...<BR/><BR/><BR/>ME: Yeah, she's got her own album. I may be missing something deeper and more nuanced with her solo work and may be too hasty in my assessment. Still... Maybe she'll perform a number or two from her new material this weekend. It may be much better live, just like Pink Martini is so much better live...<BR/><BR/>I'll return and report.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287043388945723817.post-56500354909059010282008-02-26T17:37:00.000+01:002008-02-26T17:37:00.000+01:00Wow, didn't know China Forbes was doing solo stuff...Wow, didn't know China Forbes was doing solo stuff.

You'll have fun, I'm sure.I always wonder ho...Yeah! You'll have fun, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>I always wonder how musical artists keep coming up with original and at the same time great numbers. Apparently, it doesn't always happen. I have made a mental note to look for one of the Pink Martini CDs next time I'm shopping for music.<BR/><BR/>I stumbled onto an obscure, original, fantastic band called "Taarka" the other day. My favorite songs from their concert aren't even recorded onto CDs yet. The violinist/lead singer was great with child, and I'm afraid they might disappear for a while after the baby is born. <BR/><BR/>Oh well. It was kind of fun "discovering" them, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
