“Pardon My French” 2012 http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/carolrossio4 was produced by Portland-based composer, arranger and pianist Ramsey Embick (music director for the Pointer Sisters plus hired gun for Michael Jackson, Gladys Knight, Ray Charles), and includes a French version of “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” plus an unplugged (vocals and ukulele) version of Pink Martini’s smash hit “Sympathique.”
 
The 6-song EP also features Damian Erskine on bass (Peter Erskine, The Jaco Pastorius Big Band, Gino Vannelli), Reinhardt Melz on drums (Steve Miller, Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton), Adrian P. Baxter on tenor sax and flute (Cherry Poppin Daddies) and Dustin Hunley on ukulele, background vocals and whistle (Bellagio & Paris Resorts + Carnival Cruise Liner MS Ecstasy.)
