Eth Tedeschi

[Maitimo]

Those of you who follow live music in SL may know of Eth Tedeschi - I am sorry to bring the sad news that he passed away in RL on Monday. 

He was an accomplished pianist and singer, and also a DJ, and he was a great friend of the Chiaroscuro community of which I am the events manager.  Eth suffered with ill health for much of the past few years and he had a few "close calls" in the time I knew him, but his resilience and good spirits always pulled him through.  I'd like to exteend my condolences to his friends and family and especially to his SL partner Flora.

Oh dear. I'm sorry I missed this talent.

My sincerest condolences to those who knew him.

I followed him onto the stage at Cafe Musique every other Thursday. We talked a lot, musical banter and mutual appreciation of our very different musical styles. A lot of snark at the world and at the actual realities of being a musician, in SL and elsewhere.

A truly gifted artist, composer and performer. With a wickedly pointed sense of humour.

When I heard of his passing it was like a punch in the gut. I'd banter with Flora during his sets.

Such a fine talent and beautiful person, lost too soon.
