Thread Name: Folk Music Venues in Second Life
Subject: RE: Folk Music Venues in Second Life
Carol,

I started another Second Life thread.,.you would think I would know better by now than to not check to see if one was already underway.

I am just learning to get around on Second Life. I have the benefit of knowing about 25 or 30 musicians who have landed there from Paltalk. While there is much there that is not of my taste, as you mention above, there is no denying that the sound quality is amazingly good (128 bit/44.1 - whatever that means but it is cd quality). I have found 5 or 6 venues that book mostly solo acoustic performers, as well as made friends with a few people who have a stream and invite people over to their house to play.

It seems most of the music there is scheduled - eg: CarolC at 7 PM at such and such a place. I am hopping to find or convince someone to set up an open mic venue, where people can drop in and place a few songs. There are a few open mics, and I like those the best. I have been asked to schedule a 90 minute show there will do so soon.

I am dwditty dilweg there if you happen to see me, say hello.
