- [The Rhythm of Change: Music Rights in a Rapidly Changing Landscape](https://www.musicservices.com/the-rhythm-of-change-music-rights-in-a-rapidly-changing-landscape/): In the mid-to-late ’60s, my older brothers played in two bands - Storm Center, a rock cover band, and Honey Bear, a sludgy psychedelic quartet. I’d tag along to rehearsals, totally transfixed - especially by the drummers.

Those early moments marked the beginning of lifelong passions - for music listening, for drums, and eventually for helping creators navigate today’s increasingly complex rights landscape.
