List moderator's, please let this pass, even if it is slightly off topic. You are probably familiar with Sol as half of the group Sirocco, with Armando Mafufo: http://www.sirocco-music.com/ Sulyman's home, workshops, instruments and all he owned were consumed in the Santa Cruz Mountains Summit Fire on May 22, 2008 If you would like to help him there is a paypal donation link on his website http://fingercymbals.com/ Please help out, even if its just a little bit. Sol is in hs 70's. it's a hell of a time to be starting over with nothing.
