Today's Morning Edition music is from "Sweet Lou" Snider performing "We'll Meet Again" live at Nye's Polonaise Room in Minneapolis.
Snider passed away Sunday at the age of 81.
For 45 years, she was a beloved fixture at the piano bar at Nye's. Her singing, piano playing and lively conversation created a festive atmosphere that made Nye's famous.
Snider retired five years ago.
Her life will be remembered during a memorial service Saturday in Brooklyn Park.
By the way, the owners say Nye's Polonaise Room will close for good on April 3.
