i posted this previously in the Tsunami/Earthquake thread
now starting a new thread...with the challenge I issued
regarding what mudcatters can do to help==namely holding
a musical event as a way to raise funds for the victims..
"when you go to the red cross site, you can find a video
of musicians doing a benefit for red cross...
that is something many of us could do...
what a good way to celebrate new years or first night...
i issue a challenge....how many such events can we mudcats
organize??!!"

our folk society is planning to perform at a local coffee
house in January...I will encourage the gathering of people
to donate to red cross and/or UNICEF.
any other ideas about how to help?
