Our friend Bill Hudson http://www.bill-hudson.com/ was doing his recycling and had an idea of musicians going down to the area devastated by hurricane Katrina, twisters, Rita... It's called the Feel Good tour. (in the right column near the top under learn is an 06 video interview.)
Even if it is not on the front page or in the news these days folks still need help! Bill asked Mel to sign on since she's a song leading organizer. He and Al Coffey have been going down to Louisianna and Mississippi figuring it out on their feet.
Two days ago (Sunday 1/28/07) when he asked again the timing was right. Mel and Vinnie are collecting instruments to bring to school kids and packing up the minivan to spend a week with Bill and Al cheering up the weary. Bill says much of New Orleans is wireless so we can send you notes from the road.
