It's so nice when friends gather in your community and chat. I've been spending as much time as I can with friends lately. The support has been overwhelming.

Got my waterfall rebuilt today, I cried. So many have offered to help.

Sometimes something really beautiful happens to you. It happened to me on Thursday night. Heath Elvehjem was performing his regular weekly set at Sailors Cove when he proposed something new.

He rezzed another piano bench and asked for a volunteer from the crowd. I'm not quite sure how I got up there, cause I didn't volunteer, but he and the crowd called for me so I said, what the heck and jumped onto the bench.

Then he asked me to type some musical notes into chat. I did, and he took those notes and improved a brand new piece from them..... OMG, what beautiful music. This young man is so talented. He took a few random notes that I typed out and created a work of art.

It was probably one of the most moving things that has ever happened to me.

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 :)
