			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Sorry there&#8217;s been no posting folks, but I&#8217;ve been busy getting ready for the season.  But this topic is too important not to post:  All during the middle and late 90&#8217;s I used to regularly fly down to New Orleans to conduct the Louisiana Symphony.  I have a lot of great memories of those days, and the folks @ the LPO are real intrepid musicians, running their own orchestra, and surviving and even thriving when other orchestras have lost their way.</p>
	<p>Now much of their lives are in shambles.  Hurricane Katrina effected them as it did everyone else.  But in true LPO spirit they are surviving, and I&#8217;m very happy to report that the music world has rallied to help our colleagues with offers of jobs, gigs, and places to stay.  My friend (and the first guest commentator on <em>Classical Connections</em>) Drew McManus has set up the following site - <a href="http://www.artsjournal.com/adaptistration/archives/2005/09/louisiana_phil.html"> as a clearing house for offers of support.</a>  If anyone has any time, space, etc., for our fellow musicians please visit this page and post.  </p>
	<p>Even if you don&#8217;t have something particularly <em>musical</em> please donate to relief efforts for Hurrican Katrina.  Every little bit will help.</p>
	<p>Thanks,</p>
	<p>Bill

        <itunes:summary>	Sorry there’s been no posting folks, but I’ve been busy getting ready for the season.  But this topic is too important not to post:  All during the middle and late 90’s I used to regularly fly down to New Orleans to conduct the Louisiana Symphony.  I have a lot of great memories of those days, and the folks @ the LPO are real intrepid musicians, running their own orchestra, and surviving and even thriving when other orchestras have lost their way.
