[Dixielandjazz] Question about Dixie4Dixie Benefits

[Craig I. Johnson]

I need help. Our band would be interested in doing a benefit
for the New Orleans disaster.

We're not the biggest draw in the world, so I'd probably try to
get some of the other bands in our vicinity (Southern NH & ME) to cooperate.

However, my only contact with benefits in the past is with
my old band when we got calls asking us to play.

How do I go about starting the process - like getting the
recipient (Red Cross & Salv Army) involved
getting a venue,
getting the publicity
This is all new to me.
Thanks. I'll read the respoonses when I get back from my
day (actually evening) job.

Regards,
