Over at the My Space page for the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund, you can listen to Joe Topping's sweet song, "Lord Willing". (Just take a look at the upper right, click on Joe's name and push the play button at the top to hear it.)

Last year Joe, who is British, walked 1400 miles to raise money for the Fund. Here's the scoop from his site:

From July through to October, Joe has walked from shores of Lake Michigan at Chicago to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico at New Orleans via America's 'Cities of Music' - Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans - in aid of New Orleans Music Relief Fund, raising awareness and money for the displaced New Orleans musicians.

He is working on a new album due out sometime this year and it will certainly include impressions made from that journey.
