A new video from the Tzu Chi Foundation takes a look at the great work being done by the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic to serve and aid the health of musicains around New Orleans. The episode opens with a visit in the studio with Tuesday's "Morning Set" show host Mark LaMaire, as he wakes up the Crescent City, then follows the streetcar down St. Charles Avenue to the Musicians' Clinic.

From the video description: "New Orleans musicians keep a vibrant cultural identity that roots back to the birth of Jazz alive, while providing a backbone to the city’s economy. Yet music makers everywhere share a hard life of late nights and injuries resulting from playing their instruments. The Musicians’ Clinic of New Orleans takes the plight of musicians here to heart by providing free health care; and since Katrina, they know they need to do more."
