In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, famed New Orleans percussionist, Alfred "Uganda" Roberts found himself in Houston without his prized conga drums which were lost to the storm.

John Koehler of Klondike Sound Co. heard about his plight and through the Katrina Piano Fund granted him a new set of congas! Thanks to the Katrina Piano Fund and John Koehler!

Alfred aslo received some much needed help from the New Orleans Musician's Relief Fund through fan and music advocate Jeff Beninato. He and his organization has done a lot to directly help so many of the musicians effected by Hurricane Katrina.

It's people like Jeff and the NOMRF who make it a lot easier for the sounds of New Orleans to come back home.
