Dear Subscriber,

Great music, great food, great fun and dancing outdoors. Where else in the world can you revel and savor and seize the day quite like you can in New Orleans in springtime! French Quarter Festival is coming up followed by JazzFest and we'll take no excuses for staying home this year. Hurricane Katrina knocked us around but our spirits are intact. Come on down to the French Quarter and New Orleans and do your part to help us recover and rebuild.

Sincerely,

Carolyn McLellan, Publisher
