Brian Wilson must have a bit of a sore throat this week, having made more than five hundred telephone calls to fans as part of his campaign to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. As previously reported, the former Beach Boy said that he would grant a personal telephone call to any donor giving $100 dollars via his website. He also pledged to match all cash donations.
Wilson is now working on a plan to organise Christmas events and gift donations to New Orleans. The singer said: "I would love to be able to go down to New Orleans and bring toys and perform for the kids that have lost so much. No kid should be without Christmas."
