There were reportedly 3,000 to 5,000 full-time musicians working in New Orleans at the time the hurricane hit.


Here are some ways to help...



The Tipitina's Foundation www.tipitinas.com is, among other things, developing a database of people throughout the country who can give New Orleans artists a temporary home or other support.



Preservation Hall has started the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund. www.preservationhall.com. They are also selling fetching t-shirts to raise money.

I figured some of you would be interested in these efforts.

Thank you, Stax! So much help is needed in so many different areas that one doesn't know where to begin. This is good info to add.
