On this two year anniversary of what has to be seen as the worst natural disaster in our nation's history, we all ought to pause and reflect. For those of us safe and warm and untouched by those waters that destroyed lives and livelihoods, we ought to think have we done enough to help. As it seems the benefit concerts and the spolight have moved elsewhere in the world, why not just do a small thing and buy a CD by a New Orleans artist or a compilation whose proceeds are going to hurricane relief. Better yet - if you love New Orleans and its music - make a donation to the Musicians Village - the Harry Connick, Jr., Branford and Ellis Marsalis project to build homes for in the Upper 9th Ward for musicians.
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez again for New Orleans, its people and its music
