Farrell Lowe, who was living in Pinebrook Hills at the time of the 2013 flood in Boulder County, was instrumental in helping with the rescue of Dan Frisby who was trapped after his house was collapsed by a mud-and-rockslide. In this interview, Farrell, who is a musician, first discusses his background of growing up on a farm in southern Indiana, including rural life, the roots of his interest in music, and severe weather events he experienced in the Midwest. He continues by describing his move to Boulder and the Boulder music scene of the 1980s. The last third of the interview is a dramatic account of the Boulder County flood, the destruction in Pinebrook Hills, the rescue by Farrell and other neighbors, and their subsequent self-evacuation.
