"Back Porch Music Saturday will be pre-empted this weekend to bring you a special Hurricane Katrina Relief Benefit concert"

"Back Porch Music Saturday will be pre-empted this weekend to bring you a special Hurricane Katrina Relief Benefit concert"

This came to me by e-mail. Why it does not appear on the WUNC website is one of those WUNC mysteries.

"NPR presents Higher Ground, a LIVE four-hour benefit concert for hurricane relief on Saturday, Sept. 17th starting at 8 p.m. Led by New Orleans native Wynton Marsalis , artistic director of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the concert will be a fundraiser for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The guest list includes Terence Blanchard, Ken Burns, Cyrus Chestnut, Peter Cincotti, Elvis Costello (pictured), Robert De Niro, Bill Cosby, Paquito D'Rivera, Jon Hendricks, Nora Jones, Diana Krall, Abbey Lincoln(pictured), Bette Midler, Dianne Reeves, Marcus Roberts, Paul Simon, Meryl Streep, James Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Cassandra Wilson, Buckwheat Zydeco, and more.
