Another solo show for Jamie because Doug had a grant proposal due (you know how scientists are!)  I had the opportunity to give away tickets to a show by Peacemeal, a Michigan old-timey band playing in town on Friday and was visited by two members of Zydecrunch, a local zydeco band who just finished recording a demo CD.  Apparently the accordion player just entered a contest in Branson, Mo. looking for the “hippest, hottest” accordion player in America.  Sounds like someone’s trying to make the stomach Steinway a cool instrument.  Will bagpipes be next?
