[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Help

[loerchen2 at aol.com]

Jeff,
 
Depends on where they sent it -- the N.O. Musicians' Clinic has been helping out, likewise Tipitina's Foundation.  The Musicians' Clinic has been subsidizing bands to play in clubs that can't afford to hire them.  Unfortunately, that money has now run out.

Hi All,

I was talking to a musician friend here in the UK yesterday. He has visited  
New Orleans over 25 times and loves the jazz, the city and the people and has 
a  good number of contacts there.

He was mentioning the money that had been raised around various jazz clubs  
he attends that has been sent to New Orleans to help musicians, etc. However,  
there have been no reports back to say if the money had actually arrived there 
and if it was being used to help the people it was intended for. He asked me 
to  enquire of you guys on the list to see if you have heard of these funds 
arriving  in New Orleans yet.
