My wife and I are musicians and Katrina survivors. She was finishing an album (CD), only 3 vocal tracks left to do, when the flood hit. Of course the studio had no off site back up, so she lost the sessions. Sort of. we we given the drives from the computer But they will not boot. I see Katrina crud on the PC board, but very little corrosion or evidence of moisture damage to the platter casing. We tried to get the data recovered but the place we talked to wanted $1400 per drive to recover. We don't have the money. There is some great music, and some tracks by a musician who died after the flood, and we would love to get the data back (Pro Tools) and finish the CD. Can you PM me?

I'm hanging on, in case you reply here....

Thanks

I was born in the deep south and saw racial prejudice, in all of its hateful forms, from day one. And it's still going on today, continued by the same idiocy that fed it back then. It seems to always come from the same group think and I wonder sometimes if that will ever change - it's like they WANT to be prejudiced or something. I kept hoping they would die off but new racists took their place. And no they won't change their minds. So what to do from here? I really hope the demonstrations will change minds but I fear it may not change enough to end racism in the US. Does BLM have any ideas to that end?
