So please go to: www.cdbaby.com/sage and buy a CD for a friend, relative or for yourself... Derek Sivers, the president of CDBaby, is one of Rachael's oldest friends and the biggest mensch we know in the music biz. His prompt invitation to all CDBaby artists to donate cd sales to help support those suffering from this crisis is very typical of him, and one of the reasons he is so well-respected in the independent music community. To browse other indie artists who've also designated their sales to go toward Red Cross Relief (invluding our friends Amy Speace, Namoli Brennet, Holly Figueroa & many more), visit the CDBaby.com hompage, which will direct you to a gallery of these artists. Rachael is currently touring the South and has been meeting many folks who've either fled damaged homes in Louisiana, or who've been quick to confide the turmoil of what friends and loved-ones have been facing; if you don't want to purchase a cd at the moment, we hope you'll take a few moments and visit http://www.redcross.org to make a much-needed donation.

While I still like The Independent, I much prefer the smaller shows.

I'm with you on the album recommendation as well, although I have nothing to say on the subject of the mixes. :-) Paul shad 96c / uw cs 2001 / mac activist / fumbler / eda / headliner / navy-souper fan of / sophie b. / steve poltz / habs / bills / 49ers / "Don't get me started on intuitive.

Part of the pre-story blurb is as follows, "...to thank Neile Graham for her help in writing this..." bye, KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!!
