Will there be a "Concert for Louisiania" ?

[Bombtrack]

ala the concert for New York ?

[chicagiana]

1. I'm sure Willie Nelson will be all over that ...

... but I don't expect Kid Rock or Toby Keith to step up.

[Spazito]

2. It looks like bush is hoping so, he has been practicing with his

guitar.

[Swamp Rat]

3. I'll play... I play classical guitar and Brazilian percussion,

and a lot in between. ;)

... Bush ain't invited! :mad:

[LincolnMcGrath]

6. How are you doing Friend?

I heard your email read on Steph Miller's show this morning! :loveya:

[Swamp Rat]

8. I'm OK under the circumstances

Still trying to locate my mom. :hug:

[LiberalEsto]

4. Well, don't expect the Oil Co. CEOs to hold a bake sale

They're too busy counting their loot. So once again, we look to our generous entertainment community to raise the millions that our nation's wealthy SHOULD be contributing.

[Unity]

5. Hope so, probably...

Plus, this would be a good time for country and rock (and blues, jazz, cajun, etc.) to come together and symbolically unite the country. We need to get over this red/blue BS and musicians can lead the way. Hope some musicians/organizers are monitoring this.

New Orleans is pretty much where it all began for American music.

7. NBC on 9/2 8-9 pm eastern...just released

Tim McGraw, Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis.

[UncleSepp]

9. Jazz and blues... especially blues...

It would just be right, wouldn't it?

[Beaverhausen]

10. I would hope it will be for Mississippi and Alabama too

don't forget the victims there too.

[KamaAina]

11. I fully anticipate it will make Live Aid look like a sophomore mixer
