- On August 29, 2005, a catastrophe of biblical proportions descended upon the people of America's Gulf Coast as Hurricane Katrina roared across Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, leaving thousands dead and hundreds of thousands homeless. It would become America's largest natural disaster - ever. New Orleans, the "crucible of music", was hit hardest when the storm breached the levees protecting the community. Within hours 80% of New Orleans was under as much as 20 feet of water and months later, the legendary city remains in ruins. Katrina created a diaspora of historic magnitude. Not since the Depression have so many been forced to abandon their homes. Over 1.5 million people have registered for assistance. Among the great numbers fleeing to safety were the city's thousands of musicians. Now scattered across the country without instruments, they are struggling to earn a living and have no way to connect with their community. As governments struggle to cope with the magnitude of the disaster, people touched by the tragedy are reaching out to help. Music Rising was founded by U2's The Edge, legendary rock producer Bob Ezrin and Gibson Guitar's Henry Juszkiewicz in conjunction with the Grammy Foundation's MusiCares to raise funds to replace thousands of lost musical instruments. If they can achieve their goal, they will not only replace some of the emotional and spiritual loss musicians faced, but give them back the means to earn a living. Music Rising was jump-started by prominent lead partners Gibson Guitars and Guitar Center Music Foundation who are collaborating on the design, manufacture and sale of an exclusive Gibson guitar with all proceeds going directly to the Music Rising program. The limited edition guitars are uniquely hand painted and all plastic parts are replaced by woods from the states affected by the hurricanes. It is expected this effort alone will raise one million dollars. The Music Rising documentary will follow this initiative from its earliest steps to the delivery of instruments to those in need. We'll see the unfathomable destructive impact of Katrina and hear first-hand stories from musicians who survived the storm but lost everything. We'll join Bob Ezrin and others as they work to make the vision of Music Rising a reality. As we witness the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, we'll hear community leaders share their desperate pleas and their fear this tragedy will be forgotten long before it can be overcome. Our documentary crew spent the first 'post-Katrina' Christmas in the ruins of New Orleans with musicians who have returned to help rebuild both the city and their community. Christmas was bittersweet as they grappled with the incredible losses they experienced and gave thanks for the hope of a better future. We'll see Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson sing "City of New Orleans" and watch as The Edge jams with the Preservation Hall band on the day this historic location in the heart of the French Quarter is re-opened. Eight months after the hurricane and flooding, Edge and Ezrin walk the streets of the Lower 9th Ward and see that virtually nothing has been done to help the residents. Flooded vehicles litter the streets and homes shattered by the force of the storm are covered with mold. Yet courageous homeowners and volunteer organizations such as "The Common Ground" struggle to rebuild. But the people of New Orleans will not be defeated. Their spirit is truly inspirational, and as Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan sing at the first New Orleans Jazz Festival members of the community like Reverend Leonard Lucas rebuild their communities. New Orleans is not going to be the city it once was in a few weeks or even a few months. Experts feel that it will take many years to rebuild the city and even then, so much of the culture and history stands to be lost if the music community doesn't return. Despite the hardship and tragedy, Music Rising is a story of re-birth and hope. The world will see that through the hard work and goodwill of The Edge, Bob Ezrin and the many dedicated individuals behind Music Rising as well as the efforts of numerous other rebuilding initiatives, music will once again be heard on the streets, clubs, cafés, churches and schools of New Orleans. New Orleans, famous as the home of the "rising sun" will see its strength and beauty return as people from around the world commit to its resurrection.

Having a zero balance or less in savings scares Roxanne, whereas Shawn believes why pay for something now if you can pay for it later. As such, Roxanne has begun not to be totally honest with Shawn about money, i.e. she hides money from him. Their money problems began when they bought their house - which happened a year earlier than they anticipated - a step they saw as working toward their goal of starting a family. But all those hidden costs of home ownership without curbing their other spending, such as frequent meals out, have threatened that goal of children in the near future. Gail wants them to plan what their life will be like with a baby, which means not only researching costs, but living on what will be their reduced income due to maternity leave. Gail gives them an even more realistic taste of what that life will be like. Gail makes them look more clearly at the entire notion of "buy now, pay later" plans, which means for their life now finding money to pay for their latest "pay later" purchase.

They bought a $22,000 timeshare with on-going fees on credit which they have never used. But their biggest extravagance is their vehicles. They belong to a car club, which means putting a lot of money into their show car. Tony also trades up his vehicle on average once a year.

And GVO shows them what their retirement life will look like if they don't plan for it and make the necessary changes.

Nell handles all their household finances, and thus feels the weight of dealing with that issue all on her own. While Nell and Darrell have a joint bank account, Darrell also has his own bank account, from which he indiscriminately spends. To protect herself, Nell has secretly been stashing away $100 a month in a workplace savings plan about which Darrell knows nothing. When Nell tries to talk to him about their finances, the conversation, which generally leads to a yelling match, ends with Darrell making a joke. He does it in an effort to diffuse the situation, not fully comprehending how badly that makes Nell feel as she doesn't see their finances as a laughing matter. Their nine year old daughter Aprielle is also affected. Aprielle sees and hears her parents' constant fighting, Nell feels ashamed for always having to say no to Aprielle for anything that Aprielle may ask for, and Nell and Darrell have so far taken $6,000 out of Aprielle's education fund to deal with their debt. Gail wants this couple to balance out their finances in every respect, meaning that Nell should have what Darrell has, or conversely Darrell should give up what Nell already forgoes. She also wants them to do whatever it takes to give back to Aprielle what she has been missing or given up in her life, which probably means they have to find ways to make more than their current combined $60,000 per annum income.

His wife of twenty-five years Yvonne owns a scrap-booking store, which sometimes will go through slow periods when she will not take an income. She initially allowed him his excesses because she felt she could do nothing about them. Finally fed up only a few months ago, she inserted herself into the household financial management, which has not seemed to help, largely because of Rob not wanting anyone to question what he feels he and their family deserve. She has vowed to dissolve their marriage if their financial situation keeps on going downward, as she feels she needs more consistency and order in her life. Gail believes they need to organize their lives, largely by decluttering their house and their finances. She needs Rob to get over the issue that he has to maintain an image, while she needs Yvonne to treat the store as a business and not a hobby. And she wants to see if they have the same life goals, which may determine whether they stay together as a couple or not, which, if they do stay together, means working together as a team.
