Steve and Listmates:

If you could have seen the crowds in Old Sac this year.  And with featuring
the Rebirth Jazz Band, the amount of black people there, enjoying the music
and fanning out to enjoy the other types of music.  Everyone was having a
great time.  The weather was perfect!  No long shuttle bus rides out to the
north area.  All kinds of Jazz.

All in all, it was a great festival.
