It's been over a year since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, and while the re-building continues, much more is needed just to get back to zero. A lot of people are still living in FEMA trailers and trying to put their lives back together piece by piece. Working musicians seemed to suffer a triple whammy, as it's hard enough to earn a living as a musician to start with, without having to find a new home. Hoping the crowds return to the Big Easy has left many musicians struggling.
If you really want to celebrate during this season of giving, why not tuck something into the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund's stocking and help out some of the people that make New Orleans the hot home of cool jazz? NOMRF can help you make sure your gift this season gets to some people who really need it. Donations are tax deductible and can be made on their web site at
