The one concern that I have heard voiced about it is that the income threshold to get in is quite low. Many musicians who are only moderately successful might make too much money to qualify. I only know this based on after gig hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt.

Regardless of who qualifies, it is a totally worth while project. Thank you for your generosity.

The more time passes, the more I realize that it is the totality of New orleans, ALL of her people, that give the city its vibe. It is very important that any one that wants to return has the option to do so. Projects like Habitat for Humanity are making that possible.

Having come through tax time without any visible scars, Susan and I just sent off our donation to the NOLA Habitat for Humanity’s Musicians’ Village project. Sounds like a terrific plan to us. Is this project getting good visibility in the New Orleans area?
