Ani DiFranco helps kick-start ‘Katrina Piano Fund’

Ani DiFranco, an independent songwriter under her own label, ‘Righteous Babe Records’, previously had a recording studio down in New Orleans. Although she evacuated the city the day before Katrina hit, many of her friends down there lost everything from recording equipment to their instruments to their studios and homes. In addition to writing songs and speaking out about the devastation in New Orleans, Ani helped kick-start ‘Katrina’s Piano Fund’, a not-for-profit organization that provides instruments and equipment to musicians in New Orleans.

In searching for the link, everything promising led me to Japanese sites (?), but here is the link to Ani’s webpage (the Piano Fund post is mid-way down the page, dated 9/9/2005):
