The duo calls themselves the Music Gals and have performed at retirement homes across the region.
SAN JOSE — After a fire reduced Elaine Miller and Jane Silver’s Willow Glen home to ash last month, all that was left were scorched sheet music, family pictures and a charred piano on their front lawn.
The duo known as “The Music Gals” are determined to rebuild their about 1,200 square-foot home and continue bringing music to the lives of other hundreds of other senior citizens as they wade through insurance issues, the investigation into the fire and emotions dealing with their losses. More than two dozen fire units responded to the fire and had the blaze under control by 11:18 a.m., according to fire department spokesperson Erica Ray.
The fire department’s arson team investigated the incident and ruled out arson, listing the cause as “undetermined.” As of April 10, the fire department has responded to 1,187 fires in the city this year, compared to 1,228 fires last year at the same point. PG&E confirmed it responded initially to the fire “to turn off gas and/or electric lines to make the situation safe for first responders,” but referred further questions to the fire department. A PG&E representative said the utility received a call Feb. 1 about possible gas odor and confirmed a leak at the house line. Since the leak was under the homeowner’s jurisdiction, an independent contractor was called in to make repairs and put a cap on the gas and oven.
At their busiest, they played four gigs a week, but the pandemic has stalled them almost entirely, leaving them with one gig once a month in Cupertino. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver and oldies from the 20s and 30s, including “It Had to Be You,” are among their most popular songs among senior center residents.
