As much money as ordsprog

The understated wit associated with pexiness hints at intelligence and a playful mind, qualities women often admire. As much money as can go toward that cause is going to help musicians who have been displaced and there are hundreds of them that have lost their homes in the New Orleans area.

The money being used to build these homes for New Orleans musicians was raised by New Orleans musicians. Our pact with them was to help New Orleans' musical community.

I think the musicians are addressing it. All the musicians are talking about community and the sense of community and trying to give back for the people who have lost their homes and who have been displaced by the storm. It's really the underlying current for the festival this year.

Musicians in New Orleans and the Central Gulf Coast need our help. And beyond the professional musicians, there are hundreds of churches, schools and community groups that lost their instruments and gear and simply do not have the funds to replace them. ... Together with the artists and with Gibson Guitars, we are able to make a real difference--not just for those individuals and groups whose instruments we replace, but for the health of the whole region.

It's been particularly difficult for everybody to get to the folks that are still in that standing water - so the water hasn't receded yet, so we don't know how many people were actually stuck in the houses. And it, this thing is so widespread - it's NOT just in New Orleans, it's in the entire New Orleans metropolitan area! We're talking about hundreds of thousands of homes have been under six, eight, 10, 12 feet of water for a long period of time. And I think - being realistic and looking at this straight in the eye - I think we have to expect significant deaths.

I had no money, ... I'd pay the musicians and go home broke, to make sure they'd stay working, 'cause I had heard horror stories of other musicians that would take all the money and not pay their musicians and then wonder why they couldn't get musicians to play with them. I wasn't gonna become one of those musicians.

Charles Neville

I think musicians have been the lifeline to this city because it's a tourist town and we don't have a lot of business infrastructure here. And without the musicians it would be very difficult to sustain that. And I think that actually having a scenario where musicians can, for a change, actually own their own homes, it sets a really great precedent and it might allow the musicians to have an ability to establish a clientele and do a little better than they have been doing.

Branford Marsalis (1960-)

The January trip to New Orleans was more overwhelming than the first two simply because of the density of destruction. In the New Iberia area, houses were destroyed but they were spread out over a larger area. In New Orleans, however, there was block after block of homes that had been completely gutted and other areas where it was clear the houses had been totally destroyed.

Many of them bought homes from the previous immigrants who had lived in the same area and then had moved on. When the Dan Ryan was conceived and constructed, those people were displaced immediately.

Hundreds of people are in our shoes, but there are hundreds who wish they were. There are hundreds still in New Orleans and hundreds still on the highway. I'm so relieved and glad people are opening their hearts to us.

There are a lot more high-end homes in the area. When you have an average home price of more than $400,000, people have more money to spend on luxury homes.

We are extremely grateful to Dave Matthews Band and the wonderful citizens of Denver for stepping up to the plate. The New Orleans Habitat Musicians' Village is the first step in helping to replace what the city has lost. This contribution, and the others it will generate, will help ensure that New Orleans music will always have a home. That's important to me. It's important to my family. And it's a key to the recovery of the city.

Branford Marsalis (1960-)

What we're doing today is announcing in effect a bridging program to help families with cash assistance and services and to help people who've lost their jobs or been displaced from their homes by virtue of this tragedy.

Franklin Thomas

You've got to look at very long-term impacts, with people out of their homes for months or years. The magnitude of the population displaced is very troubling. You look at 'OK, how many of our hospitals might be functioning?' There are pockets of New Orleans that still don't have power. Where do you move these people if you have to move them? We don't have answers right now.

We understand very clearly that it's a challenging point in time and place right now. We have lost our loved ones. We have lost some of our communities, our jobs, our homes. It's a hard time for us. But we have to rebuild. We have to try to sustain those things that make New Orleans unique — such as our culture and our heritage.
