any given night: New Orleans

I've been over here on Vancouver Island for a few days now and I am starting to feel my shoulders relax somewhat. It's been lovely, lovely but in such contrast to the reports from New Orleans. Tonight we joined my parents at a restaurant called Catrina's... too close a name to the devastating Katrina that's just passed. I feel like I'm in a bubble here enjoying one of my favourite places in the world while another place close to my heart falls to pieces.

I want to do something... if anyone who is reading this has listened to Any Given Night, you'll know that the CD is heavily influenced by New Orleans and I feel I owe her something for that. If you've been holding off buying it, please do it now. I will be donating half the proceeds from all my sales to the Red Cross in order to help the Crescent City. As soon as I get home from the Island I'll be updating my website to that regard.

Please go take a listen to House of the Rising Sun at http://www.myspace.com/kristiadigregorio and help me help New Orleans.

Any Given Night is available at www.kristia.com and http://cdbaby.com/cd/kristia.
