Phil, Fires, Maclean

This is an absolutely messed up story.

Very tragic.

Reminds me of a book I read years ago titled "Young Men and Fire," the story of a 1949 Montana firefighting disaster written by Norman Maclean, the author of "A River Runs Through It."

Also, just received word that Phil Washington, Kal Tanner's collaborator with The Webbers in 90's era Northwest Portland, has passed away.

Phil was a great guitarist and songwriter in his own right.

Sad news everywhere tonight, no doubt...
