I came across these photos just recently. Part of a professional New Orleans musician's collection that got destroyed in Hurricane Katrina.
Sad, but evocative photos.

Very sad image indeed as many people’s livelihoods depends on these same instruments. These congas look totally lifeless. To restore something like this would have a much greater meaning than just having a pretty drum at the end. I was there recently and was amazed at the fact that many areas still remain un developed.

Here are some recent pictures of my collection. I would one day like to own a set of Valjes and some Gong Bops.
