Thanks Phil. That's as powerful a piece of writing pertaining to the state of N.O. (post Katrina) that I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing.
And peace out to Peter, his family and all the fine residents of New Orleans. Hope things make a turn for the better soon.

And, I'll see you folks in Chicago! (If you still need a room - Try Priceline.com) Last weekend got a room at The Treemont for 100 a night! Not cheap, but better than the standard 250 a night rate.
Can't wait for the Chi-town shows!!

I remember when Ray got shot on the edge of the Quarter last year, I think I know almost exactly where it happened (and I've walked down that same street many times myself). A very eloquent piece by the-still great leader of the Kinks (& I know that "Waterloo Sunset" is a fave of Peter, it has long been a "desert island" song for me).

Thanks for putting the article up here.

This city will live again, and maybe this time the government will be less neglectful of our poor. Thanks Ray.

Hi Spencer,
Could you tell me the area of Chicago to click on for bidding on a room? There are several options and I was wondering which one House Of Blues is in.
Thanks!
Adrian
