Separating the Art From the Artist. Top Story - October 2023.
Recently, Jann Wenner, the co-founder of Rolling Stone magazine and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation member, released a book entitled “The Masters”. This book featured his interviews with rock legends who have become his friends. There is no arguing the influence the subjects of this book have had on Rock music. However, when questioned why there were no Blacks or women, his flippant, obnoxious, and frankly stupid response negated two demographics of rock 'n' roll's history as if they did not matter. He took his experience, privilege, and influence to brush off legends - whether he chose to acknowledge them or not - that built his career. It was an unfortunate reminder of how someone we hold in high regard can disappoint us in such a poignant and profound way.

Good Riddance. Top Story - September 2023.
This began with a message from home. My brother and I have been sending each other messages on WhatsApp for some time now. Often, we talk about family, friends, politics, and just about anything that comes our way that we think needs a chat. The other day, my brother sent me a link to an article with the title: “Rolling Stone co-founder Jann Wenner removed from Rock Hall leadership after controversial comments”.

When Collaborating on Video Games, Brazilian-born Composer/Musician is Inspired by Acoustic Guitar Theme of “The Last of Us”
Resende collaborated on the movie, “O”, selected at the Oscar qualifying 2023 LA Shorts Use. Real. Instruments. It’s ironic that a musician/composer, who started his musical journey by learning acoustic guitar at age 8 in Brazil, now finds himself in Hollywood composing music for VR and video games. However, composer/producer/musician Eduardo Resende still relies on his early experience playing guitar, piano and drums around Rio to now compose for the gaming industry.

It was a Lovely Cruise..... Top Story - September 2023.
Like the rest of the world, I woke up Saturday morning to the devastating news that Jimmy Buffett had died. I was in shock - total disbelief. My best friend and Buffett loving sister-from-another-mother had texted to give me the sad news. Had he been ill? I wondered, mentally chastising myself for not keeping abreast of Buffett news.
