I never thought too much about SL or ilk until you started this thread, Carol. I decided to sign up and have a poke around, mostly because I'm trying to think of ways to interest younger people in trad music, and wonder if this is one tool we're overlooking. So far, most of the people I've discussed this with have laughed and been dismissive, although one did confess that The Sims are his 7 yr old's hobby. (I take it The Sims are something similar for kids?)

Anyway, I'm still on Help Island (call me Cainc) and unlikely to move from there in the near future (walking under water is most interesting - peaceful). It's all a bit much for this old person - I'm still stuck in the 20th century I guess. But that doesn't mean I can afford to ignore it for the future ...

(((sigh))) Old bones ...

From the lack of participants on both sim threads, I think I'm not alone!
