Women with colorful head scarves plodded along, carrying heavy bundles of clothing salvaged from the wreckage; some carried buckets of water from distribution trucks.

He will slap his thumb against his chest to make a bass tone as his hand becomes the snare drum. The mike, rubbed against his close- cut beard, can be the chug of a train or the swoosh of a samba beat. Whether in a Beatles number like Drive My Car or a dazzling reworking of a '60s classic like Good Lovin', the point for McFerrin "isn't to be instrumental but to tell a story. Like...
