Show Host(s): Jelly Roll Justice

Playlist Date & Time: 4/9/2009 4:00PM - 7:00PM

Program: Jazz from the Market with Jelly Roll Justice

Had originally planned on doing a show about ways of coming to New Orleans --- given the upcoming French Quarter Fest and the Jazz and Heritage Festival, Piano Night and more.  

But when I woke up and felt the sun, breeze and Spring in all its New Orleans beauty, had to go solar.
