One week after country music stars rallied to raise over $2 million for Nashville, TN, flood relief,Jimmy Buffet will give a benefit concert live from Gulf Shores, AL, to raise funds for the Gulf recovery effort. In a show of support and solidarity for residents of the Gulf Coast, Jimmy Buffett will host a free concert in Gulf Shores, AL, which will be aired commercial-free Thursday, July 1 at 8 pm ET/PT on CMT. The 90-minute event,, CMT Presents Jimmy Buffett & Friends:LIve from the Gulf Coast will feature performances by Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown, Allen Toussaint, Sonny Landreth, Jesse Winchester, and additional special guests. (UPDATE June 29---due to the threat of Hurricane Alex the concert has been postponed until July 11.)
Performances will be simulcast live on Radio Margaritaville, available on Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio, and streamed live on www.CMT.com. All 35,00 tickets, which are required for entry to the concert, were snapped up as soon as they were made available last week. The event will be held on the beach in Gulf Shores where Gulf Shores Parkway (Highway 59) meets the coast.
The south has been hard hit over the past five years: first the devastating hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf coast in August of 2005, then on April 28 the deadly explosion of a BP oil rig left 11 dead and poured billions of gallons into the pristine waters of the Gulf of Mexico creating a disaster of epic proportions and causing incalculable damage to the Gulf and surrounding areas.
Finally on May 4, a flash flood ravaged Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky leaving 29 dead and a path of destruction in its wake. In response to the crisis community groups rallied and most recently a Nashville fundraiser, organized in part by country music couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, was held in the Bridgestone Arena on June 22. Nashville Rising is the biggest single fundraising effort to date in response to the Nashville flood. The concert featured 19 performers and raised more than $2 million, according to organizers, from ticket sales, auctions and corporate donations.
Other stars participating in Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery included Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Leann Rimes, Carrie Underwood, and Martina McBride.. Several of the musicians participating in the fundraiser had their property damaged by the flood.
Martina McBride received one of the night’s most enthusiastic ovations when she sang the opening lines of her hit song “Anyway”:
You can spend your whole life building
Something from nothing
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway.
---Penne J. Laubenthal

Want to purchase a pair of basket ball replica watches but not sure which is the right one for you? The most popular basketball shoes possibly ever created are the fake Louis Vuitton watches.The price tag on these fake Ulysse Nardin varies greatly and it is often difficult to tell if you are getting a genuine pair or a Skagen watches fake.There are many knockoffs created by scam businesses, they look real enough, almost perfect, but can be in fact be fakes.How do you know replica Hermes watches then whether you are getting a real pair and getting the genuine article or you are getting a fake pair and being part Aero fake of a full scale ripoff? There are many businesses that will take gullible consumers and sell fake or replica Hermes Air Jordan shoes, not only online but on black market stalls on the streets.Either way you don’t want to be part of a replica Vacheron Constantin ripoff and you want your genuine Air Jordan shoes, but what will you actually get and where will you get DandG watches replica them?The problem is that you don’t know if the shoes are real or fake if you base your decision only on price, because replica Aero watches genuine shoes can also be sold at a much lower cost than the so called genuine Jordan shoes. Genuine Jordan fake Rolex SubMariner can sometimes be sold at 25-30% of the normal cost.You can buy these shoes online or from the so called black fake Elini watches market operations.Those people who are not aware of the various different versions of the Air Jordan may have no idea Rolex Explorer replica what the differences are between the fake or knock off shoes being sold by a scam artist or the real genuine or fake Rotary watches product being sold by the big business in America or a wholesaler. It is very difficult with good quality knock Longines watches fake offs to tell if they are real or fake.The main reason for this is that all of the Air Jordan shoes will be made in another Aero watches replica country.As an example, if a factory worker called P1 (Person1) in Asia somewhere is making Air Jordan shoes that will Jaquet Droz watches fake be shipped to America for sale as the real genuine article for perhaps $300 or more then the person next to P1 Body Glove fake in the factory, we will call him P2 (Person2), is also making the same shoes they are called a replica IWC and a knock off version because it is not going direct to the “Big N”.You know which company I mean name has only four letters in it and based in America.The shoes that are sent to the “Big N” are they therefore fake Rotary real or fake? They are quite probably made next to P2 who makes the shoes for a wholesaler so which ones are real Hermes watches fake and which ones are fake? Which ones are genuine and which ones are replica Bertolucci watches? When you buy the shoes made by P1 at $350 you may in fact being more involved in a ripoff, since these shoes may Piaget fake be the same as those made by P2, sitting at the table next to P1, but they are called a fake Chanel because they will not go to the “Big N” in the USA? Which is real or fake? Which part is the rip off, buying TechnoMarine fake the same shoes for $300 being a rip off or buying them for $99? You have to decide which shoes are knockoffs Tag Heuer replica and why? Do you want the so called real shoes made by P1 or the Guess watches and so called fake shoes made by P2? Tricky isn’t it! So when you consider the fact that the shoes are quite probably made in the same factory but distributed to different retailers/wholesalers for fake Casio watches different prices, where is the scam? The expensive so called genuine article made by P1 or the replica A.Lange and Sohne watches or knockoffs made by P2.You have to make the decision whether you want to pay $300 or more for a genuine “fake Piaget” made by P1 or the “fake” fake Zenith watches made by P2 and pay less than say $100.They are mostly made in the same factory so how do you figure it out?? fake Body Glove Fake or real, real or fake $300 or $99! I want the shoes made by P2 and pay the better price for the same Air Jordan shoes fake Pulsar watches – don’t you? One thing is sure those who are selling Jordans at $99 per pair are not making billion dollar Parmigiani fake profits.Author Michiel Van Kets writes articles for toetoeshoes.com and spends his time trying to fake Puma watches counter all the misinformation circulating regarding knockoff products and in particular fake shoes.
