Dear HSJF Fan:
 With
Daylight Savings Time, our days
are lighter longer and Spring is
right around the corner. In New
England, we were fortunate to
have a mild winter but let's
bring on the warmer weather.
March also means that we're
another month closer to June.
Don't forget to get
your tickets and join us to
help celebrate 20 years
of The Hot Steamed Jazz
Festival --
June 22, 23 & 24, 2012!
