**** OVERVIEW ****
We Shall Not Be Moved is, essentially, the "We Are the World" of New
Orleans http://www.weshallnotbemoved.org.
The musicians of New Orleans are producing a recording and video of
the song, We Shall Not Be Moved, featuring some of New Orleans' best
players, singers and choirs, along with national celebrities.
The project is designed to heal, uplift and unify the people of New
Orleans---and the world---helping us all turn the page once and for
all, release the images of devastation to flow downstream, and stride
into the future with spirits soaring.
We're expecting national media coverage for the launch of the WSNBM
video on YouTube August 29th.
