Louisiana native Rod Gator released his new CD called “For Louisiana†recently to commemorate the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, and as the hand of fate controlled by the Hurricane gods who have a very warped sense of humor would have it, Louisiana got hit by an equally devastating storm called Ida, also on that fateful date of August 29. His song “August 29†has deep meaning for me and gives me chills each time I hear it. I lived through Katrina but have never been so scared in all my long life as when Hurricane Ida was raging over us here in Baton Rouge.
