The One With All The Jazz

In the early 1900's, Italian immigrants in New Orleans were being targeted by someone who would come to be known as "The Axeman of New Orleans". The axeman's identity is unknown to this day, but don't worry, there's plenty of conspiracy theories to choose from. There's jazz, mention of the mafia, and Mumfrey, Monfre, & Mumphrey. Still confused? We are too. The details are hard to keep straight, but hopefully Meg's attempts at last name pronunciation will help keep you in line. Tune in as Sara & Meg travel back in time to The Big Easy.
