Winter comes early


"I can't believe it's so cold here in the middle of Summer," lamented a surprise Bob Stone, keyboardist for Private Sector, but Stone was not a member the last time Sector played in this neck of the woods.

"It was the middle of winter and I'd never been so cold," bassist Donald Barley remembered.

Something from those memories must have crossed over to performance Saturday night, because the show was cold and sluggish, lacking the usual energy of a Sector show. Or, perhaps the knowledge of the next gig in Thompson would take them even closer to the Arctic Circle caused the excitement to fade.

The crowd was still receptive and for the most part enthusiastic, not getting live entertainment very often. Opening act Frederick the Karaoke Cat was a huge hit with the locals and perhaps the saving grace of the entire evening.
