Today's thread by Plaid Adder focuses on groups that assist musicians in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

A lot of good info, including how you can donate unused instruments to folks in the region. Here's a bit from the post:

"While encouraged by the flow of money into the Red Cross for basic needs, we decided that a specific effort was needed to help the city’s musicians. It’s a simple economic equation: once a musician has an instrument in his hands, he can get back to work. Little economies will spin up around each instrument, in all the relocation cities. Money for the long trip home can be earned, and the soul of New Orleans will be saved..."

Please kick and recommend her post to keep the information upfront, thanks!
