SOLACE (Oakland Ghost Ship Fire Tribute)

I wrote this today about the Oakland ghost ship fire, that took at this point some 36 confirmed lives. This district I came up in, still have our recording studio in. Its a live work community of cool ass folks trying to make life a little closer to art then reality. Me and my folks threw tons of parties and we just lucky and blessed very few people ever got hurt. What happened this weekend really hit me hard. I hope that we can learn something and find some comfort in the love that we have for each other. We all have so little time, and to me it is especially tragic when young people are lost. Music and performance ©2016 Chris Pendergraft
