Stars offer heartfelt performances in benefit It began, fittingly enough, with jazz from New Orleans natives Harry Connick Jr. and Wynton Marsalis. "A Concert for Hurricane Relief," a heartfelt and dignified benefit aired on NBC and other networks Friday night. Louisiana native Tim McGraw teared up as he told Matt Lauer, "I know the citizens that weren't affected by this directly are gonna stand up and do good things for people." He sang two songs, then became the first of the evening's stars to sign a Gibson Les Paul Special guitar to be auctioned online. Faith Hill, a Mississippi native, sang "There Will Come a Time," with the inspiring lyrics, "The darkness will be gone, the weak shall be strong. Hold on to your faith."
