Thanks to reporter Fredricka Whitfield and everyone at CNN!
And many, many thanks also to the Louisiana State Museum for providing Roots of Music with a new rehearsal space! The students are now practicing in the spacious and historic Cabildo building in the heart of the French Quarter.

A final thanks to Madelyn Bonnot of the Quincy Jones Listen Up Foundation, who made a personal donation to help keep Roots of Music going strong.
