And thank you for your response. Yes, you do know some things about New
Orleans! And now I am learning more about where you live. I have never been
to Russia, but my friend Natasha, here in New Orleans, tells me great things
about the culture. This December she is doing her own cabaret show here in
New Orleans. I am the musical director of the show. She helps me with
Russian, and I help her with English. Until last year the Russian language
seemed hopelessly difficult to me. "Nord-Ost" opened a door. And I am so
grateful.
