We're building an archive of in-depth interviews with musicians who've been deeply influenced by Louisiana, including Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Herlin Riley, Taj Mahal, Galactic, George Porter, Jr., Charles Neville, Germaine Bazzle, Ani DiFranco, OperaCréole, Big Freedia and many others. These interviews offer listeners new ways to appreciate the individuals who've deepened the musical traditions we hold most dear. In addition, our radio documentaries present a 360-degree view of treasured artists who've made vital contributions to New Orleans music as we know know it -- Louis Armstrong, Professor Longhair, Fats Domino and NEA Jazz Master Danny Barker. THIS year the big book of Music Inside Out interviews is nearing completion, which means we must fund additional research, photographs and illustrations. We've also begun producing filmed interviews and need to make them available online to anyone at any time. And lastly, we are scheduling a LIVE EVENT this year similar to our interviews at a recent New Orleans Book Festival with musical authors Big Freedia and Tarriona "Tank" Ball of Tank and the Bangas. Music is the language of our world. Let's keep talking!
