Music from the Bridge
I’m amongst a crowd hovering forty feet above Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi, who are waving back at us with a combination of elation and gratitude.

When we talk about Savannah, Georgia, we mean more than just the city proper but also its coastal islands that lead like stepping stones from the sea to the Hostess City of the South. With a charm and dignity that gush Old South, Savannah is a perfect blend of the old and the new. Whether [...]
