Gumbo Radio broadcasts Louisiana's music online from Lafayette, Louisiana 24 hours a day, at no cost to listeners. And no musical style has gone unrepresented. Gumbo Radio plays the music you might expect from Louisiana - Cajun, zydeco, New Orleans R&B, and jazz - as well as other musical styles from the Bayou State you might not think we have. Plus, like any good cook, I throw in whatever else I think sounds good. (Hence that ol' gumbo cliche, which is also quite accurate.)

But this past summer, my faithful old iMac - the guts of the live broadcast - went belly up. So now there's a 7-hour canned broadcast from a remote server. It's still good stuff, but there's nothing like being live. With a live broadcast we can listen to 21 days worth of music without hearing the same song twice.

So if I can raise enough funds here I can buy a new Mac to get the live broadcast up and running again.

Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated. And thanks for just considering it.
