Pink Martini

In This Issue

Drink in the experience, featuring singers China Forbes & Storm Large

rawing inspiration from music all over the world and crossing genres of classical, jazz and old-fashioned pop, the band Pink Martini was founded in 1994 in Portland, Oregon and has now attracted a loyal global fan base. Their diverse repertoire is influenced by Cole Porter and Duke Ellington, Tito Puente and Xavier Cugat, as well as Argentine tango, Brazilian samba, Italian folk, Asian and romantic Hollywood musicals of the 1940s and ’50s. When founder, bandleader and pianist Thomas Lauderdale teamed up with singer China Forbes, they began to write songs together, creating their signature sound and style. Their first song, “Sympathique (Je ne veus pas travailler)” became an overnight sensation in France and was nominated for Song of the Year at France’s Victoires de la Musique Awards. Featuring a dozen musicians with songs in 25 languages, Pink Martini performs its multilingual set on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America and North Amer-

ica. Pink Martini made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and has gone on to play with more than 70 orchestras around the world. Pink Martini has sold over three million albums worldwide on their own independent label Heinz Records (named after Lauderdale’s dog). The band released “Hang On Little Tomato” in 2004, “Hey Eugene!” in 2007, “Splendor In The Grass” in 2009 and “Joy to the World” in 2011. In 2016, Pink Martini released its ninth studio album, “Je Dis Oui!,” which features vocals from China Forbes, Storm Large, Ari Shapiro, fashion guru Ikram Goldman, civil rights ac-

tivist Kathleen Saadat and Rufus Wainwright. In 2018, Pink Martini released a special 20th Anniversary Edition of its first album “Sympathique,” and in 2019, the band collaborated on a new album release, “Hotel Amour,” with the international singing sensation Meow Meow. The band’s spirit celebrates the world’s nationalities, bringing joy as well as a sense of connection. As their sixth studio album reminds us, this is a lively show that will help audiences “Get Happy.” Pink Martini - March 25-28, McCallum Theatre, 73000 Fred Waring Dr., in Palm Desert.

Did you know there is a flashlight on your iPhone? I just found mine. Courtesy of BoomerTECH Adventures online, I’ve not only learned that there is a flashlight, but how to access it. BoomerTECH Adventures is a website aimed at seniors (although I don’t know why it wouldn’t appeal to anybody with an Apple device) who want to expand how they use their iPhone, iPad or Mac computer and learn about all the features. Right on the home page of the website (as of this writing) is a free video about turning slides into digital images and a free video about how to change the email password on your iPad. In addition, there is a link to its blog covering a wide variety of Apple device-related topics. Not all the videos are free, however. There are full courses, such as the Introduction to iPhone Basics ($30), which includes four videos and a course booklet. There is Introduction to Zoom Basics, wherein you can learn

how to have those video calls with your family ($30). This one consists of eight videos that cover everything you need to know from setting it up to how to have appropriate lighting. Maximizing Your iPad’s Potential is a $30 course that covers over a dozen areas and iPad topics, such as basic navigation, personalizing the look and making folders, communicating with messages and video, using the camera, editing photos and much more. Mac computer owners aren’t left out -- there is an Introduction to Mac Basics ($30) course. BoomerTECH Adventures was started by a trio of educators, all of them seniors, which means they know we learn new things in different ways at different paces. If you have an Apple iPhone and want to know how to do more than place a call, check BoomerTECH Adventures (www. boomertechadventures.com). (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.

Desert TheatreWorks presents ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Desert Theatreworks presents the classic “Little Shop of Horrors” March 18-April 10 at the Indio Performing Arts Center (IPAC). Seymour Krelborn is a meek and dejected assistant at a floral shop who happens upon a strange plant, which he affectionately names “Audrey II” after his crush at the shop. Little does he know that this strange and unusual plant will develop a soulful R&B voice, a potty mouth, and an unquenchable thirst for human blood. As Audrey II grows bigger and meaner, the carnivorous plant

promises limitless fame and fortune to Seymour, as long as he continues providing a fresh supply of blood. Just when it’s too late, Seymour discovers Audrey II’s extra-terrestrial origins and his true drive for world-domination. Featuring local artist Keisha D as the voice of the man-eating plant, Audrey II. Indio Performing Arts Center, 45175 Fargo Street, Indio. Showtimes: Thursday-Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinee: 2 p.m. Frr tickets call 760-980-1455 or dtworks.org

Just for the fun of it Was it whimsy or a brash gesture when Karly Sindy in Asheville, NC ordered her personalized license plate from the Department of Motor Vehicles? She received the plate, which reads F-A-R-T, put it on the back of her pickup truck and off she went for a drive, according to the Association of Mature American Citizens. Apparently, it caused quite a stir among fellow

drivers and that, in turn, caused the DMV to send her a letter asking her for an explanation. Friends and strangers heard of her plight and, with their help, Karly started a new club, which is called Friends of Asheville Recreational Trails. She informed the DMV that the club’s acronym is the reason she requested her customized plate and is now waiting to see if she can keep.

How St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated in Ireland Initially a religious holiday to commemorate the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day has since evolved into a global celebration of Irish culture. In fact, it has become one of the most popular days of the year to throw a party and gather with others. So how do people in Ireland — the heart of where St. Patrick’s Day originated - celebrate each March 17th? Should travelers find themselves in Ireland this time of year, here’s what to expect in terms of St. Patrick’s Day commemorations. Since St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday, expect schools, banks and some businesses to be closed around the country and in portions of Northern Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day tourism is big business, so restaurants and pubs likely will be open and may extend their hours. According to the vacationing resource Travel Awaits, more than 100,000 travelers visit Dublin from March 14 to March 18 to partake in St. Patrick’s Day festivities. COVID-19 likely will impact how many visit this year. As St. Patrick’s Day is a religious holiday, devout Irish Catholics will treat the day as a religious celebration and may attend mass at nearby churches. Even though St. Patrick’s Day falls during the sol-

emn season of Lent, since St. Patrick’s Day 2022 falls on a Thursday this year, one does not need to worry about any Lenten fasting restrictions. However, abstaining from meat usually is put on pause when St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Lenten Friday anyway. The biggest St. Patrick’s Day parade takes place in Dublin, and it’s full of national pride. Additional smaller parades may be held across Ireland as well. Travelers may experience “drowning the shamrock” as they visit Irish pubs on St. Patrick’s Day. It is traditional to drop a shamrock into customers’ drinks in the pub. As such, it is surmised that having many drinks undoubtedly means more good luck for the year ahead due to all those lucky shamrocks. It’s common to come across religious rituals, pilgrimages and processions on St. Patrick’s Day, particularly to places associated with St. Patrick. Downpatrick in County Down is believed to be the final resting place of St. Patrick and many people visit the grave and cathedral there. Some also may want to visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Ireland celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in similar fashion as other countries, but the country offers unique takes on the festivities as well.

On March 17, 1601, the first parade honoring the Catholic feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, is held in what is now St. Augustine, Florida. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in New York City was held in 1762. On March 18, 1852, in New York City, Henry Wells and William G. Fargo join with other investors to launch their namesake business. In July 1852, their company Wells Fargo shipped its first loads of freight from the East Coast to mining camps in northern California. On March 19, 1916, eight Curtiss “Jenny” planes of the First Aero Squadron take off from Columbus, New Mexico, in the first combat air mission in U.S. history. They flew in support of the 7,000 U.S. troops who invaded Mexico to capture revolutionary leader Pancho Villa.

On March 20, 1823, Ned Buntline, the “dime millionaire” and

discoverer of Buffalo Bill, is born. More than any single writer, Buntline was responsible for creating a romanticized and misleading image of the American West. He once said, “I found that to make a living I must write ‘trash’ for the masses.” On March 21, 1871, journalist Henry Morton Stanley begins his famous search through Africa for the missing British explorer Dr. David Livingstone. When Stanley found him on Oct. 27, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand: “Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” On March 22, 1893, the first women’s college basketball game is played at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Each made basket counted as one point with the game lasting two 15-minute halves. The game had been invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, with rules for men and women the same. On March 23, 1962, Pakistan’s governor Ayub Khan gives first lady Jacqueline Kennedy a horse she nicknamed Black Jack. Jackie chose Black Jack to serve as the ceremonial riderless horse during Pres. John Kennedy’s funeral. (c) 2022 Hearst Communications, Inc. All Rights Reserved

VA Proposes Changes to Disability Ratings If you have a Department of Veterans Affairs-rated disability, heads up. They’re proposing changes to the schedule for disabilities for auditory, respiratory and mental disorders. If you receive compensation for one of those service-connected conditions, your rating won’t change. The reason for changing the schedule, they say, is to “incorporate modern medical data and terminology” so veterans can

receive more accurate and consistent decisions. Ratings will be based on “the most current medical knowledge” for the condition. Some of the proposed changes are: • Looking at tinnitus as a symptom of an underlying disease instead of a stand-alone disability. • Modernizing the rating criteria for sleep apnea and how it impacts earning capacity. • Evaluating mental-health conditions in terms of interpersonal relationships, life activities, self-care and cognition. It’s proposed that the criteria include a 10% minimum and won’t require “total occupational and social impairment” to reach 100%. • No current ratings will change, they say. If they’re finalized, veterans can apply for increased compensation. There won’t be any reduction in compensation unless there’s an improvement in the disability. If you want to read more, see the

Federal Register where the document has to be open for comment for 60 days. Go to www. federalregister.gov and search for “FR Doc. 2022-02049” for two of the disorders, and “FR Doc. 202202051” for the third one. Be sure to look through the public comments. A vast majority have to do with sleep apnea and its daily life impact, including earnings. What concerns me at first glance is that there’s a lot of removing subparagraphs, combining other disability aspects, renaming headings, adding section notes and reorganizing the various sections. How, one wonders, are the ratings personnel supposed to do a realistic evaluation of impairment? Even ratings clerks who have a lot of experience are going to be starting all over again in learning the system. (c) 2022 King Features Synd., Inc.
