"Accidentally"
Story on Truckstop Honeymoon, a bluegrass band and a couple in the band displaced by Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans to Kansas.

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129451917

Their outlook is positively - positive, for lack of a better word. They sing this song titled "Accidentally," based on the good things that's happened to them since Katrina.

The song is sung during the broadcast but here's a clearer version. Besides the fantastic banjo, base and drums, the song has a great piano section.

1. I love that song! So fun and positive.
In reference to the article, kudos to them for keeping the Mardi Gras tradition, and kudos for their little town for being open to a new tradition for them.

I always love the things that you share, Blue. Thank you!

2. Thank you, IHAD! Such a fun and uplifiting song,
and easy to dance to :D And how true that the family couldn't have started their Mardi gras parade without the welcome of the town. They all sure know how to make lemonade! :)

4. Yeah, along with all the bad it's really
inspiring to hear about how some people are working through the tragedy with a lot of light and humor.
