New Musicians, New Parties

The other night when I was visiting with Circe and Silas at Luxor, I had the opportunity to meet a new SL musician called NuScore Kidd. I was able to catch one of his shows over at the Sunset Jazz Club. OMG, the ladies are going to be drooling over this guy. NuScore is SL's version of Barry White. His vocals are deep and rich and his improv will have you fanning your face. His audience interaction is unique and personal and I'm working on getting him to Sailors Cove Theater asap!

After my visit to Sunset, I hopped over to Freestar Tammas' place for an open mic. My friend OwlandMoonGuy had IM'd me to let me know that he would also be playing. While there I caught Cypress Rosewood's set which was totally awesome.

At the same time, my friend Wishing Lane was holding an open mic party on her property. When I got there she had a good crowd. Wishing is a special lady with a love of music in league with my own.
And finally, Sting Rhode did is regular Sunday gig at Sailors Cove. We had everybody out on the floor dancing. I also spoke with Aisha after Sting's show and we're moving her show from Thursday evenings to Sunday afternoon's after Sting. I think it's a good move as it will relieve some of the pressure on her Thursdays and will help increase the crowd for her shows on Sundays.
I'm also getting more involved in two other projects. First is the Second Life Music Community Forum. It's an offshoot of the Music Development news group that Linden Labs started after the convention in Chicago. The group consists of musicians, DJ's, venue owners/managers and fans of music in SL, working together to raise the profile of the scene. I want to become actively involved in letting people know that there is something really fun and exciting to do in SL and took my first step last night by hanging around the Ahern welcome center with a flip title telling people to ask me about music in Second Life. It was probably not a good time to be working there, but I did speak with some folks. Right now I'm working on putting together a notecard with some preset instructions to help people find music.

The second has to do with Sailors Cove. Tasha and Iza have been loaded down with work
because of the addition of the new Anchor Cove sim. I've volunteered to help out by being the liaison between the new property owners and the theme committee. I'm working strictly in an administrative position, providing information to the committee on new build requests from all the new property owners coming into the community.
