Voices of New Orleans

"It is has been three weeks since Hurricane Ike blew ashore on Galveston Island bringing up to 20 feet of Gulf waters over the low-lying land, killing a still yet to be determined number of residents — several hundred remain missing — and inflicting billions of dollars in damage.

Marc Broussard kicks off Voices' very first Music Friday

December 29, 2006

Inaugurating a new Voices tradition, here is the first of many Music Fridays which will provide a link to a video or song clip of a truly fabulous Louisiana artist. If you have suggestions, send them my way at colleenatchasingraydotcom and we'll see what we can do to spread the word.

Marc Broussard is one of my favorite singers and he positively wails on "Home." You will not be able to stay in your seat while you listen to this one...it's impossible.

Jack up the volume on the video, and hit the link.

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
