The Camp Fire basically destroyed Paradise. Mile Corbin (from the Aqua Velvets) and his wife Grace made it out safely with their pets but have lost almost everything. There is a gofundme page setup to assist at https://www.gofundme.com/milesandgracecorbin

Thanks for posting Darren. I hope he didn't loose all his instruments and all his wonderful music! So sad. The Aqua Velvets was one of the bands that got me hooked on surf... mid-90's.

I spoke with Miles today. If you know him, he's always optimistic, and he remains so, even in these extremely dire circumstances. He was able to grab a couple guitars and one amp as they fled, but everything he and his wife owned was destroyed. They were able to take their dog, but the cats went into hiding. It's heartbreaking.
In addition to the gofundme campaign, we'll organize a benefit show.
Really, an entire town wiped out- the hospitals, the homes, everything.

I just checked to see if the goal was met. Met and surpassed.
