Kermit and the band did not appear at On the Waterfront and venue has received no word. Time to start looking.

The following, from Channel 2 in Baton Rouge, offers news on some others:
"While the whereabouts of many New Orleans singers and musicians remains unknown, Mark Samuels, president of Basin Street Records, reports from Memphis that Basin Street artists Kermit Ruffins, Irvin Mayfield, Ronald Markham and Theresa Andersson are safe in Baton Rouge, traditional jazz musician Michael White is in Houston, jazz-blues pianist Henry Butler is in Monroe and drummer Jason Marsalis, a member of the famous Marsalis jazz family, is in New York."
Pete Fountain and Irma Thomas have also been found

WWOZ is back and broadcasting in 'exile'. Their temporary webpage at wwz.org has a list of musicians found.
My prayers are with you all.
