Subject: RE: BS: Second Life
Actually There is a Tweed's Blues Juke Joint in second life, I built it 6 months ago in anticipation of Tweeds arrival there. Of course like the real world some neighborhoods are better than others. if you are an artist or a musician there is a lot of like minded people to talk with. Its basically a multi media chat board. I think know the coffee house you speak of Beer....the performer is Grace Buford (Cylendrian Rutabaga in SL) Tweed got to hear her sing last night. she's a regular performer in a coffee house in the Carolinas. There are several musicians I know who are handicapped who make their living performing there since they cant leave their homes. Also some elderly musicians in assisted living. I got to hear one fellow perform there who was well in his 80's and the hooked him up in the home he was living in. A very impressive Blues musician, and it seemed to make him very happy to play in front of an audience again...even if it was a virtual audience. He also like the tips he got from the appreciative crowd which was real cash, not virtual.
