This is the Moth Radio Hour.

I'm Sarah Austin-Ginness.

Love is in the air and around every corner because in this hour the stories are all about finding

And that's what our first story is about.

David Greco told this at a moth story slam in New Orleans, where we partner with New Orleans

Public Radio.

David lives in California and was just visiting New Orleans the night of this open mic show,

but he decided to pop in and throw his name in the hat, and he was picked.

Here's David Greco, live at the mall.

You know when you're first starting to date someone,

And now, the first time I was a jazz fest was about five years ago.
