On Monday, Washington Post gossip column "The Reliable Source" blabbed about a $200 per person weekend fundraiser for New Orleans entertainers sponsored by the Future of Music Coalition.
The "Hope for Home" event was described by the newspaper as "just a casual little backyard shindig with live music by REM's Mike Mills." Mills, whose band is one of my faves, has been involved in the artists-rights group's events before.
The headliner, according to the paper, was blues pianist and singer Al Johnson. The crooner, who lost his own home to Hurricane Katrina, performed "Blueberry Hill," "The Twist" and his own "Carnival Time," a Mardi Gras mainstay.
