Just read that masterful drummer, Simon Phillips , has lost his home due to the fires in California. I am not sure if his Phantom Recording Studio is based there or not but it seems like he has lost quite a bit in terms of equipment and personal belongings. Fortunately his fiancé Billie Rainbird managed to escape unharmed along with their pet dog. Simon was on tour at the time in NYC. There is a GoFundMe page set up to help them recoup somewhat. I will be making a donation of sorts. A shame to see such a talented man lose everything considering the amount of work he has put in over the years. Only hope that all the artists whom he provided with impeccable services for many years (Toto. Corrs, Oldfield, Who etc. etc.) will fork out as well.
