I came to peek in here to see if Tam is alright. Glad to see that you are. I haven't been here for a while.

Anyway, the whole Katrina thing is just horrible. I can't comprehend the devastation. We've been collecting at work and at Tece's school. My work is actually matching $25 for every $25 dollar check written. Pretty freakin' cool. There are alot of good folks in Bucks County. My co-worker just bought alot of baby clothes for her church's efforts, and her husband bought alot of stuff too. I was blown away when I found this out.
My prayers and thoughts go out to all of the victims.

Not sure why i had this link to begin with, i might have bought a cd from the fellow or was looking for info on some New Orleans songs. But the site's pretty interesting & i've been reading the updates in the blog, i found the link again after someone emailed me about some musicians' whereabouts after Katrina.

thanks for the link.. lots to read/see there

a lot of the musical community of New Orleans has ended up here in Austin. i know Cyril Neville & a load of his family are here, as well as several of the Dirty Dozen & others...local venues are already setting them up with gigs, as well as adding them to already scheduled events.

I admit, I've never had the pleasure to personally visit New Orleans still, it would be such a waste to lose the personality and flavor of that city. There is none other like it and never will be.
The music, the style of celebration, etc...hopefully, I will be able to visit in the future.
