You may remember the Eagle Rock Music Studio, which was open from 2007 until its closing during COVID. Maybe you took lessons there. Maybe you sent your kid there. The owner, Sue Bray, was my guitar teacher for a while.
Sue and her husband Pat (also a talented musician), had a lovely home on Altadena Dr. where they lived with with their 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 turtles, and lifetime’s collection of instruments. After the closing of the studio in Eagle Rock, Sue taught music lessons out of this home, which I would drive to once a week in the evening.
I always loved the drive, and my time with her. Sue is one of the coolest people I’ve met. She’s very chill, very even and has a generally really positive vibe. I always enjoyed seeing her beyond just improving at guitar. She’s also a bodybuilder. 💪🏼 She’s 67.
Sue & Pat’s home burned to the ground, along with so many others in the Eaton Fire. With only 30 min to evacuate they sadly lost 1 cat, 2 turtles and most of their instruments.
Two days after the fire, they dusted themselves off and played a gig Friday night. How is that for the power of music and healing? These people are incredible. I share this because I don’t know how much their GoFundMe will spread, with them being in their 60s and not on social media much.
I know we’ve all tapped deeply into our resources already, but if you can spare a few, I’d love to help out Sue and Pat. Will link the GoFundMe in my bio and stories.
Thanks. 🤘🏼
