I would say by reading this article, the write, Teresa Wiltz, had to be there to write it. There are so many emotions that she puts into the article that the reader can feel. When she talks to the musicians from New Orleans, and some of them feel there is no reason to come back, because they have lost everything, you can almost see the look on thier faces. While Teresa is sitting in the "mid-city joint" and describes the people in the bar, and you can see almost hear the music playing, people comming in the door, it's almost like you are sitting there with her her details are so descriptive. But they are not too much into detail, you know just what is going on, and aren't bored with reading it. I think she did a great job on the story, it gives another look on what's really going on, instead of what you might see on CNN.

I agree. She strikes a balance. There's enough description to let us "see" the joint, etc., but not so much it sounds English major-y and overwritten.
Your blog's starting to look good, too.
