Éva Fahidi was one of the most amazing people I've ever had the honour to know. Today I want to tell you about her.

By the time I knew her, she was a kind of superhero grandmother; with a hectic travel schedule to give talks, lectures, interviews, or dance performances all over Europe; and yet, whenever we saw her at her Budapest home, she'd found time for baking and cooking in exorbitant amounts.

Dennis Austin, the software developer of PowerPoint, died on 1 September at age 76.

I just saw the paywalled Washington Post obituary dated 8 September.

"The program was the digital successor of the overhead projector. It became one of the most ubiquitous and scorned programs of modern office life." But I remember that it really seemed magical when it first came on our screens.

'While jazz was his home base, the Chicago native’s genius jumped genres. Moving from Chicago to New York, he played with everyone from Sarah Vaughan to Van Morrison, from Leonard Bernstein to Bruce Springsteen. Critic Greil Marcus called his work on Morrison’s “Astral Weeks” album “the greatest bass ever heard on a rock album.”' #obituary #music

Going through my album of the year list makes me realise one thing:

2023 is packed with first class bangers! 🤘

#Hellripper #Obituary #Blackbraid #QOTSA #KingGizzardAndTheLizardWizard , you name it.

...hell, even #TheHives released a really good album.

What's your number one so far this year?

'“It is a way of thinking of music not as separate tones on a scale, as we have for centuries,” she told The Wausau Daily Herald of Wisconsin, her hometown newspaper, in 2021, “but as sounds gliding through time and space which have their own laws and still have roots in the historical musical tradition.”'

Random fun fact: One of my class assignments in my journalism school days was to write an #obituary of #JimmyBuffett. I got a C.

So long, Jimmy Buffett.

'An afternoon of drinking margaritas in an Austin, Texas, bar inspired Buffett to write “Margaritaville,” the song that became synonymous with his laid-back lifestyle. An immediate hit upon its release in 1977, the song encapsulated his mellow charms, laced with a hint of melancholy. …

'“Margaritaville” entered the National Recording Registry in 2023.' #obituary #music #ShowBusiness
