- it was a lovely, lovely show - I had to leave early, but the first
several acts (the last I saw was Stamey/Kaia) were really good. it was
sad (to me), but a fitting tribute.

(although I wondered about the couple gaily chatting/making out
throughout the entire thing in front of me - at any other show I'd
understand, but at a tribute to a beloved dead singer/songwriter?
human behavior baffles me)

ps - if I were a musician, I might have gone up there and called my
band "the girlfriend did it" because I'm not entirely convinced that he
*did* commit suicide.
