Those of you who've been to the Crouching Lion Inn and heard live music there over the past two years probably met Carl Golden, who runs all the music stuff there and plays there a lot himself, especially the Wednesday night Open Mic events (which some of you have attended). He and his wife Toni (a schoolteacher) are extemely well known and loved out there in the Punalu`u area.
Well, tonight there's going to be a benefit show to help them out -- their house burned to the ground this morning. It's already online at this link and I heard that several TV camera crews were out there just a few minutes ago.
The Breaking News story includes:
A fire this morning destroyed a two-story house in Punaluu and left seven adults and two children homeless.
Eight of the occupants were home when the fire broke out just before 6 this morning and escaped without injury.
Firefighters said the home was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived at 6:04 a.m..
Thirty-five firefighters from seven companies including five engines, two ladders, and a water tanker responded to the alarm.
(...)
A fire department spokesman said the home sustained heavy damage and is unlivable.
The concert at the Crouching Lion tonight starts at 7pm. There's no charge for admission, but any donations to Carl and Toni will be accepted. They got out with only the clothes on their backs.
