memorial service notwithstanding. Flo had died the week before. She was 92. There was quite a turnout of friends and family in her memory, with many fond memories shared. I was reminded of her grace and her smile, and how she was at peace. Also of what a big basketball fan she was.

Cyn and I went to see Sixty Watt Sarah on Saturday night. Sarah has a very strong voice, and she could just belt it out. She and her band played a wide variety of music, from country to jazz psychedelic rock to blues. She played an acoustic guitar that had a nice ringing but deep tone. She had an accordion player. He often played a good zydeco rhythym, but usually he covered solos. I don't recall ever hearing a wah-wah pedal used with an accordion before.

We went CD shopping. I picked up a Violent Femmes tribute record (local artists), a compilation of the local punk scene, Signal Drift (a very nice electronic record), Squirrel Nut Zippers, Syd Barrett and a U2 thing.
