Literature & Lunch--Scrim My Tail: As Told to Margaret Orr

The story of Scrim, a little dog with a big desire for independence, captured New Orleans' hearts and is now making an impact on our literary scene. Books and stories about Scrim have been popping up throughout 2025, and Words & Music is excited to bring you the newest addition to the growing list of Scrim tales.
