Please Help the people in Louisiana

Donations for hurricane relief



We raised $170 yesterday playing at Faneuil Hall.

That's significantly more than we'd normally get in the tip bucket, especially on a Thursday, so I know that people were inspired to contribute extra to the charitable cause. There was an unusual abundance of $5's in the bucket. I found a twenty in there. Now that was definately from someone who wasn't just a folk music lover! (Folk music lovers usually don't have $20). I think people are happy to give & when you make it so convenient for them, the money flows. Try it - put out a donations bucket at your office to save people the trouble of having to make a call or address an envelope.

This isn't something on the other side of the world, easily put out of one's mind. These people, whose lives were wiped out this week, are our neighbors.

Here's a really easy way to give -
