Gregg Giuffria: Bad Luck In Biloxi
The coast of Mississippi was hit hardest by hurricane Katrina. Biloxi is a hub of music and casinos on the Gulf Coast.
One musician of note affected by the devastation, is Gregg Giuffria (Angel, Giuffria, House of Lords). Gregg's new project, the Biloxi Hard Rock Casino was getting ready to open it's doors for the first time next week. Katrain blew through and flattened the building. It's a total loss.
Gregg is still getting over a fire that destroyed his studio about a year ago.
According to melodicrock.com, the $235 million resort was scheduled to open sometime before September 8 and the press was given a sneak peak last Friday.
Gregg spoke to melodicrock.com and said he is understandably upset and cursing his "luck". But he was quick to add that he is more concerned about the people in the area and the widespread damage caused. Gregg says they will rebuild and put it back together, although the memorabilia is lost forever.
Gregg told fans to log onto www.wlbt.com and click on the link to video from Sky Chopper 3 - which tours the devastated area. About 10 to 15 minutes in to the 20 minute segment, the helicopter flies over the Hard Rock resort.
