Remember Haiti

Saturday night I was one in a seven artist line up in a Haiti benefit concert. The concert was hosted by ADRA, one of the leading non-profits to send teams of people to Port au Prince right after the earthquakes. There were video clips, pictures, and some of the other artists had spent a lot [...]
