What a week for the people down in New Orleans and Mississippi who went through Hurricane Katrina on monday. My heart goes out to the survivors. They just look exhausted as I see their faces on CNN. They are moving over 25,000 people to the Astrodome in Houston, Texas tonight. Sports seems to be "non important" right now. Hopefully, our government can step in and help these people get back on their feet. If you would like to post some well wishes in this thread, please do so. God Bless!!

To: OneKing'sandMonarch'sNationintotheGroove..can U dig it?
I agree...sport does seem superficial in the face of such tragedy...but it makes us feel normal n' alive---'dat's why I hope they rebuild the arena in the 'bigeasy'...may it rise again!! The people there deserve the best after what happened---I LOVED gigging there--'easy' musicians are 'loose' and unself-conscious natural musicians...Not an 'L7' in the whole bunch I'd ever met>
Coming back from Chicago a young lady with a baby sat next to me...not what U'd NORMALLY want sitting next to you...She'd turned 21 on Sat., 8-27: 'partied' at a casino in Long Beach Miss. that ended up on the coast Monday mornin'...her parents were in a shelter in Florida, she hadn't talked to them since Mon.,..and she seemed kinda numb--was going to stay with other relatives in Galt.
Felt sorry for her and gave her my last $50.00. Her story really brought home how suddenly things can change---a good life is not something to be taken for granted
To OSM and BBall fan:We should never take our blessings for granted. The Red Cross is accepting used 's for donation: log onto: http://www.redcross.org for info---nearly all of us could probably donate something----which would be better than nothing for storm victims to have computer access to obtain resources for recovery. If you want to donate money, log onto http://www.cnn.com for a list of organizations seeking relief donations. Blessings and out.
To OneKing'sandMonarch'sNationunderthegroove----Can U DIG IT????!!!!!
Gigged with Rhondda over the weekend and she'll be donating her profit from the sales of
"Gotta Love Your Sacramnento Kings"(versions 1&2) to the victims of Katrina.
