Habitats for Humanity

We spent some time at Habitats for Humanity, photographing the the progress coming along in the musicians village. It a colorful lot of houses most of which belong to musicians who were displaced by the storm. Yesterday we followed around a group of high school kids all in a jazz band who gave up their spring break to help build houses. During their lunch break they also put on a performance of jazz music. It was excited to watch the older musicians come streaming in and jump into a jamming season with these kids. I don't know much about Jazz music but from the look on the kids faces I knew this was a big deal. I have some sound recording I want to post hopefully in the next couple days so stay toned.
