Jaimal Yogis was 29 years old when he went through his first big heartbreak. At the time, he was living in a dark studio to save money and Jaimal was feeling pretty sorry for himself.

His girlfriend Sara was his first real love. When they met in their early 20s, Jaimal was instantly drawn to her silly sense of humor and green-blue eyes. After a short time, they fell for eachother. Hard.

Most people are eager to discover any new form of technology. And once they do, they quickly forget the “old ways.” Well, singer Meredith Axelrod is not most people. She specializes in recreating early vocal and recording techniques, usually prior to the 1930s. Meredith Axelrod will be singing in her sentimental style next Saturday, May 25 at the Atlas Café in San Francisco, from about 4 to 6pm.
