For those of you who may not have read or heard about it yet, the young lion cub Koza had an ill fated encounter recently. He will be greatly missed. Cairo has found a new home where she will be as needed and loved as she was at the zoo.

Having been married to a musician for over thirty years, I can tell you that the music just HAS to come out. With New Orleans being the home of so many musicians and music styles, I’m not surprised at the continutation of one of the city’s more well-known events, the New Orleans Jazz Fest. It will take more than a blow hard to keep these guys and the city down.
