Bringing the MOJO back to New Orleans

I was in New Orleans recently (shortly before the Katrina remodeled the city). Walking around Bourbon Street like a portly Clark Griswald with a digital camera around my neck and a Styrofoam cup of 190 proof antifreeze, I saw a sign in the window of a Voodo oshop: Mojos $10 bucks. I always thought that a Mojo was something that Austin Powers did with his booty.

So I went in.

Turns out a Mojo is a little packet of powders, and feathers and other magical stuff to bring you LUCK. There are Mojos to bring you luck at cards, luck at love, success in your new job, there's even one that says "Bitch goes back to her Mom"!

Well anyway New Orleans and all the other coastal towns need their Mojo back. I will be performing this weekend at the Woodstock Katrina Benefit concert and Iwill have a very special guest on stage with me: Frank Oxley of the PreservationHall Jazz band, New Orleans. Frank was stranded in his New Orleans home for days during the initial onslaught of Katrina.

You can read more about Frank in the Daily Herald: http://www.dailyherald.com/search/printstory.asp?id=96294

Please come out and support this most worthy cause. It's two days of music for twenty bucks. A win win for everybody.

Hope to see you there!
