For the 11th time Musicians will be heading down to the Gulf Coast from New Jersey and Virginia their mission is still the same. They will be bringing musical instruments for the schools in the hard hit areas. With now over 150 musical instruments already being given
The Feel Good Tour was started soon after hurricane Katrina and Rita by singer/songwriter Bill Hudson and Guy Nouri President of dragonfly.com with a simple mission of playing music for free to those in distress.
Accepting donations of musical instruments in general and school band instruments in particular, The Feel Good Tour aims to re-supply as many school children with something to play as possible. Donations have thus far come from as far as Alaska, Chicago, Ill., New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
, The Feel Good Tour started as a mission to use music as a healing force to ease stress and anxieties for Gulf Coast residents in the wake of the devastating hurricanes of 2005. Fellow musician Al Coffey was soon brought
on-board, and, after their first trip, gathering instruments for school kids in that area soon became a major focus. The mission continues.
“Bill Hudson has told me about people coming to New Orleans from all over USA, These perilous times are bringing out the best in America” Pete Seeger


"I'm glad to have been allowed to participate in The Feel Good Tour. Bill and Al should be thanked for giving a musical breather to the people whose homes and lives have been upset, and also those who volunteer so much of their time and energy to help with this ongoing crisis."- Musician- Guy Davis

thanks...
if you have time... please let us know how things really are down there??....

It’s a funny thing, here we are in the good old USA and we Still a city in this county is in need of much help, and not only the city of New Orleans but the Gulf Coast as a whole.
But I would say a good person to ask is Gordon Soderberg who runs The New Orleans Voices for Peace, http://www.neworleansvfp.org/
Gordon has his feet on the ground and he lets us camp out on the land there. He has done much great work down there and has a smart way of doing things.
