[Dixielandjazz] Survivors/New Orleans Musicians

[LeslieMRag at aol.com]

Just a note to say that, thanks to many kind people who've written to  us, 
The Mississippi Rag's bulletin board has a great deal of information on  the 
whereabouts and/or safety of New Orleans musicians, including the list from  WWOZ 
(which has done a tremendous job in compiling the list). We also just  posted 
a list from an English correspondent similar to WWOZ's--a lot of  duplication 
but a few new names and some added comments. We're in the process of  
switching to a new format for our bulletin board, so you may get either the new  or 
old board. The same info is on both boards, so you won't miss anything if the  
conversion to the new board is completed by the time you log on. The best way 
to  access it is by going the our home page at _www.mississippirag.com_ 
(http://www.mississippirag.com)  and clicking on  "Bulletin board." It's a relief to 
know that so many of our musical friends have  found safe haven, but my heart 
aches for them over the loss of their homes and  home base livelihood.
