Our First Project
By: Kevin Friedly
This was the house we were given for Tuesday. The house was located in east New Orleans just south of Slidell. This house was owned by a single, african-american waman with two young boys. When we arrived, most of the furniture had already been removed the day before by the two teams we linked up with in Covington. Our job for the day was to remove all of the wallboard and ceilings and cart it all outside. The weather was warm (in the mid 80s) with a relatively high humidity. The humidity made it irritating to work in the respirators. We sweated a lot but got most of the house finished. The two groups working with us are from Madisonville, KY and Hanover, PA. While we were eating dinner this evening we got information that a tornado had touched down in Madisonville and so all or our crew from there spent a good portion of the evening calling home to make sure no one was killed or injured. It was finally determined that everyone back in Madisonville was ok. It was kind of strange to know these folks were here helping out after a disaster and that a disaster was potentially happening back home. There are two young guys from Madisonville, Heath and Matt, who are great workers. They seem to have boundless energy and found themselves up in the attic of the house we worked on today kicking the ceiling down. They are great guys. Right now they are sitting at the same table as me after dinner playing Yahtzee with Tim Thomas. Tomorrow they are planning to eat sushi in Covington.

Our Wonderful Australian Friend, Suzi Borg Olivier (1986)
|
Dave and I met Suzi in 1986 during our "Thundershower Tour" of New Orleans. Suzi was from Australia and was taking time off from work and things to travel the world. She was passing through New Orleans while Dave and I were playing there and we immediately made a strong connection. She ultimately changed her cross-the-US plans and came to stay with us in Indy for a couple of weeks. This picture was taken at the Dry Dock restaurant. Suzi is holding Bongo the Bear. Interestingly enough, she now owns a dog she loves very much named Bongo. A coincidence? I don't think so!!! We have recently reconnected with Suzi after 25 years. She is doing wonderfully well in the Gold Coast of Australia. We are so glad to be reconnected with this wonderful person and fabulous musician.

Monty the Mime (New Orleans 1986)
|
This is a picture of our New Orleans nemesis Monty the Mime taken by our very good Aussie friend Suzi Borg Olivier. Monty decided that his miming to our music would be good for all of us. Somehow his miming to "Atlanta's Burnin' Down" just didn't get it. We couldn't get him to go away. He showed up every day. I hate mimes!
