Josh Neufeld is a comic book artist in New York City. After Katrina hit, he was an emergency volunteer in Biloxi, Mississippi. He wrote an Internet blog about his experiences, which later led to a book. "A.D.: New Orleans after the Deluge" uses drawings and text to tell about the real experiences of several Katrina survivors.
JOSH NEUFELD: It's a story that needs to continue to be told. And people need to know that New Orleans is still in recovery. It needs to be supported and appreciated as a unique place.
Critics say this graphic novel artfully expresses the survivors' bravery and shows what it was like to live through this disaster.

HOST:
One hopeful sign of recovery in New Orleans can be found in the energy of artists who represent the city's rich culture. We spent some time in the lively Bywater and Faubourg Marigny areas to hear local musicians performing in clubs and drinking places.

That was "Definitely Maybe" by the Mark Weliky Trio. Guitarist Mark Weliky is from Florida. He moved to New Orleans to study music and enjoy the city's energetic jazz scene. He plays with drummer Paul Thibodeaux and Martin Masakowski on bass. Martin's father, Steve Masakowski, is a member of our next band, Astral Project.
Astral Project has been performing in New Orleans since nineteen seventy-eight. The musicians are known for their inventive jazz influenced by funk, rock and world music. Here is their song "Voodoo Bop."
