8/29/07 "Still Singing Those Post-Katrina Blues"

Great story, very insightful. Although the content is not so uplifting, the main points remain true. Throughout the story, Wiltz maintains the same depressed tone, or voice that Robert mentioned. Wiltz's melancholic style was a great tool used to, as Robert also said, sympathize with the people of New Orleans. She did a great job of painting the picture as seen by the people of New Orleans. The people of New Orleans suffered huge losses. The musicians, those who survived, not only lost material things, they also lost many fellow musicians, and a life of entertaining that they were so accustomed to. The way of life as they once knew it is now gone, and many believe it will never return.
