New Orleans needs grants for food, home and future not for musicians....anyone performing there on a grant shoud be ashamed!
Totally!

Musicians have the songs- festivals dont need money they just need gatherings of people and song. I think in that regard NO can take care of itself.

Rip those grants out of music and put them into food on the table and homes for people to live in.

Waht a disgrace!
Typical of the so called folk and so called music community! They aren't either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This shoud be the biggest wake up call to end commercialism in music that I can think of. Take all who have taken and line them up to be shot. Even the sound crews and port a potties people. There are no fast bucks in New orleans and should not ever be. And if it is only for the money then it really shoundn't be.

I am really sooooooo....tired of musicians being like coin operated parking meters....no money no song...that is what is totally wrong.
