you don't know me.

if you don't know that i LOVE music. always have {haven't i, mama?} always will.

now, i realize just 2.5 hours north of me {in nashville} you can hear music just about any time of day. beautiful, beautiful music. while that makes me quite envious, i need you to know that birmingham has it's fair share of fabulous live music options. and so it goes... let me tell you a thing or two...

jazz fest chillage circa 2008.

not too shabby new orleans. jazz fest holds a very special place in my heart {mostly because it's in new orleans}. so while coachella wows the masses, myself included, with an impressive line-up i can't help but remain loyal to jazz fest. if you have the opportunity to go, please do. it is one of those events that you must go to at least once. add it to the ol' bucket list. now i sit and wait for the hangout fest to make an announcement on who will be playing this year. any day now...

where there is love {of a festival},

there is art.
