Mundi News

Just in case you don't know, my husband Darrel is a musician and has a band called Mundi. (They used to be called The Mundi Ensemble, but dropped the The and the Ensemble. Don't ask me why, cuz he never told me.) They play Renaissance Folk Rock. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but it does sound really good. And at least he doesn't play thrash metal!

In the Austin Chronicle's 2005-2006 Music Awards, they were in 5th place for Best Instrumental Band. A very respectable showing, I think. Yay Mundi!

Also, the band is going on a 2 week tour of Spain this summer. How cool is that? Darrel found someone in Spain who books musical acts into small towns, etc. and he liked Mundi. I was skeptical (don't tell D) that it would actually happen, but apparently, it's going to! The Spanish fella has dates and everything all lined up for them. Very exciting. It'd be more exciting if I was going to, but maybe next year.

So, buy the Mundi CD, come to Mundi shows, and generally support them so that they can buy their plane tickets! Please!!! They really wanna go!

Oh, and they're making a CD with a Tibetan Buddhist Monk who lives in California. How eclectic! I live with quite the creative one don't I? Lucky gal!
