Rosendo - Singer/Songwriter -
Growing up in a 3 bedroom house with eight brothers and sisters, left Rosendo (the eldest boy) with no real space to rehearse. Every family member was a critic when he began playing guitar at the age of 16. His first electric guitar was a used Les Paul copy that his mom bought for him from a friend of the family. Just the look of the classic body style excited him. His passion grew as he formed a rock band with schoolmates and wrote songs with them. The 80's were filled with hope, possibilities and big hair. The Source was born and the gateway to rock was the Sunset Strip. The Whiskey, Gazzarri's, The Troubadour, Coconut Teaser among others were the cathedrals and rock was the key to gain entry.
With head banging in full swing, Rosendo stayed true to his Pop/Rock influences while playing with The Source. It wasn't until after The Source broke up that he formed another band...Broken Heroes. Alas, it wasn't meant to be. In answer to a prayer, all of Rosendo's musical equipment was stolen from his truck one fateful night.
Refusing to ignore his initial plea, he followed the sign and the road less traveled. Twelve long years later, Rosendo has resurfaced with his first solo effort. Inspired by his father and mother's struggle to raise nine kids, and after becoming a father himself, Rosendo believed his life had come full circle. Once again, the passion to write came over him like a warm blanket.

Greaat Sound (Ball and Chain) looking forward to more! Glade to hear your boys doing good at school and everything is going well. I don't know if Debbie said anything but when we went to the 500 last Feb. we bought a house! It's 15 mins. from Daytona Speedway and about the same to the Ocean. Great location too, Port Orange, FL with horse stables all around it. And it has an outer building which can hold our car, the race car and the Harley, with a work shop. I'll have to leave the pickup outside but atleast it won't get snowed on. For now we will try to get down there 3 or 4 times a year. Well Rosendo let me know as soon as you got more music out and God bless my good friend. Bob

Thanks for the kind words Rosendo! One of these days when I'm back in LA, we should do a double bill somewhere! Would be great to see you play live as well! Hope you are doing wonderfully!
You are just the greatest Rosendo! Hello's back at ya from Burnt Woods, Oregon! We're rockin' the socks AND shoes off the good folks. Too bad, the shoes aren't in my size. As for your coolio car....we're uh....borrowing it cuz it sure looks mighty fancy on our front lawn!
Great live shot of you by the way! We'll drop by and check out the video!
Hey, the band is doing pretty well. During the summer we played at California's Great America in Santa Clara, it was awesome! If someday we are playing in your region I hope we will play a double bill. Anyways, I hope you'll have a great day today. :) By the way, thanks for asking.
