gwynnegaAt least two of my friends (that I know of) lost their homes during the recent wildfires. There was finally rain in Southern California this weekend, which was such a relief.
This morning my friend Brandon Jay, whose house burned down in Altadena, posted this amazing video of himself and his kids performing "Burning Down the House."
Brandon writes on FB: "Altadenamusicians.org will be coming soon. Our mission is to replace all the instruments destroyed in the recent California wildfires. We'll be setting up a platform where survivors list all their lost instruments like a wedding registry for instruments. Then donors can view the registries, see pictures and read stories about them and purchase and replace them, or better yet donate their extra gear to make everyone whole again."
It has been really something (especially amid the horrible political situation in this country) to see our local communities taking care of each other.
