Read my blog article today 9/8/2005.
........U2 & The Foo Fighters........ will be among the many stars on Friday 9/9/05 Internationally live benefit broadcast, ''Shelter From The Storm'', which will be broadcast on nearly every USA station commercial free,....and to 95 nations via satellite.
.......Fats Doimino who we know was rescued, (and is fine) along with...
....Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Lenny Kratitz, The Neville Brothers, Jimmy Buffett, Earth, Wind, & Fire, John Fogerty, Loggins & Messina, The Original Meters, Allen Toussaint, and more artists to be announced...
..will be performing Sept. 20 at New York's Madison Square Garden at a hurricane Katrina benefit concert called ''From The Big Apple To The Big Easy'',
..in which many of New Orleans' most beloved native musical artists will be performing with some of music's greatest stars.
..I for one, think it is wonderful that Fats Domino, (who lost EVERYTHING) and still has not yet located all of his family...is alright and is doing this benefit and that the music community put this TYPE of benefit together, showcasing side by side, many of New Orleans' most beloved talents..with other music stars.
Dangit , I wish I had a band and had a record deal. I would perform too .. The Wal Mart Rooftop gig went real well for me and that was with a makeshift thrown together in one week ban.
