Top Canadian and New Orleans musicians are joining forces this weekend at a concert to raise awareness and money for musicians trying to rebuild their lives in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The show, dubbed “Maple Leaf Mojo meets New Orleans Gumbo” is being broadcast on CBC Radio One on Saturday Feb. 11, from 7 to11 p.m. EST, live from New Orleans’ legendary House of Blues. Jowi Taylor and Sook-Yin Lee will host the event.
“So many people in New Orleans are worried that the plight of the city will be forgotten. Events like this keep people thinking about it,” said executive producer John Northcott, interviewed from the House of Blues, where the musicians got together to rehearse Friday.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
