John Gros - Papa Grows Funk
Steve Masakowski (7 string jazz guitar - incredible player)

I live in Metairie, a Western suburb of New Orleans that escaped most flood damage. It will take awhile for the music scene here to recover. Many musicians are still scattered, and some won't return. There are few clubs open.

The music culture here is very unique and fragile - I hope Katrina hasn't mortally wounded it.
