As some of you may be aware of, my brand new wife and I lost our home and $440K recording studio to the Palisades fire just two weeks after we were married, a total loss and profound shock on multiple levels.
I'm writing THIS post however, to acknowledge and thank THREE organizations, two of which proactively reached out after the fire, and stepped in to help me heal the musical and creative aspects of my life with musical instrument donations. Mind-blowing.
1. Guitar Center provided me with both an electric guitar and bass. https://www.guitarcenter.com/
2. The amazing Steven Slate and Steven Slate Audio immediately contacted me to let me know that Slate audio would help with the Slate gear lost in the fire. https://stevenslateaudio.com/vsx
3. American Songcatcher and ReString Appalachia contacted me proactively and donated a Roland Electronic Drumset. https://americansongcatcher.com/restringappalachia/
I am deeply, deeply grateful to the people and organizations above for their extreme support and generosity. It helped reduce the gushing of the emotional and psychological wounds that followed the fire and loss, and I will never forget it.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
