			<description>This is it, McNeese-my final column of the semester. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During my short tenure as a live music columnist for The Contraband, I have had the privilege of being entertained by a number of local and out-of-area bands. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing to you every week, McNeese, and exposing the existence of a fun and vibrant music scene in the lake area.</description>
