Where to start!

Oh my gosh, there has been so much happening lately I don't know if I can catch up!... Let's see, where to start:

Jeff Tully:
I'm not sure how long Jeff has been performing in Second Life, but I'm so glad I found him. Jeff is a Country Music singer from my home town!! Wow.... how exciting. Not only is it exciting to find someone that you feel you have a special connection with, but to top it all off he has a fantastic voice.The show was pretty early in the afternoon and there were mostly girls there.... but us girls had a great time, line dancing and swooning to his sexy tunes.....ahh.... what fun.

Circe Broom:

Circe Broom was at the concert (of course) and while there she told us that a story had been written about her in the Baltimore Sun paper. It's a great story and I'm glad that she's my friend.


Heath Elvehjem:


Bent and I headed over to Nantucket to listen to Heath play. We arrived early and found Heath there alone. He was goofing around with an invisibility script and I kept finding pieces of him (hair and shirt cuffs) floating in the air. Fortunately I was the only one that saw it. Then he put on this funny hat and went "away". Bent took a seat in the sand next to him to protect him from possible muggers....

I took advantage of the poor guy and grabbed this shot..... I kinda like the way it turned out and gave him a copy... he said he liked it to....lol...

Bent and I left the concert a bit early because the lag was driving him crazy. We decided to go exploring and I took him to Unity City, a place that I had accidentally found the day before. It's really a beautiful place and they have some interesting sights to see there.

Elegance and smooth sultry sounds




One of the most beautiful clubs in Second Life has to be Club Egret on Gammet Island. It's a huge venue built in an art deco style. It is elegant, exclusive and has a strict dress code that enables the owner to maintain the uniqueness of it's environment.

I was excited to be there, and even bought a new gown just for the occasion, a live concert by Paisley Beebe and George Bing. Paisley, (Leonie Smith) and George (George Golla)are renowned Jazz artists from Austrailia.

Paisley looked exquisite in her white satin gown. I arrived very early and was standing in the back greeting other concert goers as they arrived. The dance floor quickly filled up when the music began. So many of my friends came, some bringing other friends to listen and dance to Paisley's smooth vocals and George's expert guitar.

Rumor has it that at one point there were over 90 people in attendance..... a HUGE crowd, all dressed up in their best evening gowns, suits and tuxedos. And you should have heard them talk. The compliments were flowing all around about how wonderful Paisley sounded and when she asked for requests the messages started flowing. I was too excited when she sang Nature Boy from their music CD Never The Less, one of my favorite tunes, probably because it references going to sea, and I just love anything that involves sailing :)

Most exciting night!

Whew... I'm so excited I don't even know where to start. Bent and I went shopping today to buy him a new suit. We've been going to so many concerts I wanted him to have something else to wear other than his tux. We found a really nice 3 piece suit with matching shoes and a hat, but unfortunately he can't wear the hat because it occupies the same space as his hair. We'll have to figure that one out.

We hopped over to Nantucket for a Jazz concert by Paisley Beebe. All I can say is WOW! What a voice! Paisley is Leonie Smith from Australia and has a smooth jazzy sound that is soothing and relaxing. She has several songs on her MySpace page and I couldn't resist but add the song "Nature Boy" to my own MySpace page. More to come on this, will have to see :) Word is also getting out about her because I found another blog by Cylindrian talking about how great her sound is too.

I have some work cut out for me during the next week!
