As I sit in the Atlanta Airport on my way to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest, I am both excited and a bit uneasy. Going back to this city that has given all of us so much by way of music to see its premiere musicians gather for the first time since the damage Katrina left will be inspirational, no doubt. But I wonder…what else is in store there? How are the fine people of New Orleans looking towards the future? Are they planning to rebuild with sustainability at the forefront of their efforts, or will they, and we, collectively ignore the tides of Mother Nature? I will shortly get a first-hand look, and learn a great deal in the proceess.
More to come…
