I feel like I'm getting too old for this stuff. The rock 'n roll life was never really for me. But I'll be playing bass tonight in a rock band until 1 AM. Wish us luck. It sounds like my buddy Howie lost everything in the Paradise CA fire. The house. The store. I don't know if my girlfriend Holly survived. Send good thoughts this way.

Oh good grief I hope your girlfriend is ok. I am quite shocked at the photos and news reports from CA. (Ooh look I am even speaking American Speak!) CA How about that! ! When you do catch up with her you must find a way of keeping in touch you must be worried frantically! Think Mick Jagger and co he is in his 70's and still rocking.........You go for it!

Yeah, I actually enjoy rocking out. I've been a "folkie" most of my life.

I'm so, so sorry to hear about that. I've been watching coverage of the fire from L.A. online, and it's just heartbreaking. Please let us know when you hear anything.

The horse and the chickens (and all but one of the kitties) survived.

I also never really liked the rock 'n roll life, now I am glad to stay at home and go to sleep when I feel tired. I am really sorry for your friend, please let me know about Holly when you get news.

@TheHorse It is incredible that all of the chickens survived, they are not the smartest animals.

I'm glad she survived. I think it's funny that ALL of the chickens survived.

@thehorse I’ve been following that on the news here. Makes it so much more real when you sort of way “know” someone through Mylot who’s caught up in it.

I'm hoping to take some time off in a couple of months to help them rebuild. It will give real meaning to life.

I am so sorry to hear that. I agree old people should not play rock n roll and should be in bed by 9 pm.

I must be young, then! Let's do Crossroads! Loud! We're not great, but we have a good time. Here's a song we opened with a month or so ago. Dig my groovy bass lines!

I play bass in a rock band, but most of what I do is more Western Swing or folk/rock.
