"Go to Sleep" translation as in get the crying baby to sleep so I can get back to dancin'. The traditional stage at New Orleans Jazz Fest is called the Fais Do-Do stage. The back of this sign has space to write, address & stamp it. Your post office can let you know actual postage if you want to send this through the mail.

Early Cajun musician Edwin Duhon of the Hackberry Ramblers has said, "She'd go to the cry room, give the baby a nipple and say, 'Fais do-do.' She'd want the baby to go to sleep fast, 'cause she's worried about her husband dancing with somebody else out there." - Wikipedia
