I received a wonderful CD as a Christmas present to help the Gulf Coast.
I received the Hurricane Relief Coming Together CD tonight for Christmas. We have enjoyed every single song on both CD's (2) and want to pass this information on to my DU friends. 100% of this CD goes to Katrina Victims.

www.habitat.org

Harry Connick, Jr., Aaron Neville, etc., etc.

Fantastic music. Don't miss it.

1. It's available
at Barnes and Noble...a great opportunity to honor the many artists who contributed their talent to help our victims. Yes, I said "our" victims because I still can't get over how we failed them with those worthless functionaries who made such a debacle of the effort to aid them.

My favorite number on the CD--Do You Know What It's Like to Miss New Orleans.

4. Of course, that is the best song on the CD and the price of admission
so to speak. But the other 34 songs, ending with "When the Saints Go Marching In" represent an evening in old New Orleans and a trip worth taking, especially knowing that every bit of money goes to those who really need it.

If you missed out on a fabulous Christmas gift, stock up on future holiday and birhday presents.

5. I am going to shamelessly kick this because
I know every DUer will want a copy of this wonderful CD set that is inteneded to bring a lot of money to the areas overwhelmed by Katrina.

7. Help, please, somebody
I can't seem to find the listing--I've explored most of the likely things listed on the website and nothing about a CD. What am I missing? I know I'm dense sometimes, and I may be overlooking something that is clearly obvious. Thanks and gratitude to anyone who can help me. I'd love to order a copy of the CD.

9. The CD is called
Hurricane Relief: Come Together Now. I posted the play list for both of the CD's above. It's a 2-CD set, which is just fantastic.

22. Okay folks, I posted the pitch
at the DU Lounge. I know the Loungers listen to music--and this is the best! Personally, I hope DU people can make this a sell-out! And a huge thanks to all of the artists! We know you're watching, Louis!
