Steely Decosta and Funky Freddy Republic

Ok all..just when I thought it couldn't bet any better ..it does..Steely Decosta rocks in Second Life.

Showing up at the Tranquil Cafe..late as usual I lucked out in picking Steely's performance to view tonight. He has it all..this guy can really sing, perfect in every way..but to demonstrate his strength he plays the guitar like no one else.

Steely's profiles states: "I play a variety of covers csny beatles jimi hendrix ben harper james morrision firefall jason mrazu2 ben e king eagles plain white ts sam cooke and do original jams..." and the great thing is that he does them with enough original flair that you don't findyourself focused on the original tune.

Despite some technical problems and other glitches FunkyFreddy Replubic was well worth getting through it all and digging deep..showing at Molaskey's PUb. Ok the guitar this guy can play ..when he digs deep is awesome...

How did I get so lucky as to pick to such outstanding acts? Tip the venue which have the ability to spot great talent.

Web 2.0 tools

Right now I am reading a book by Clara Shih entitled The Facebook Era...this just reinforces my feeling that we are now entering an era of great social change driven by social networking tools such as facebook. Social networking will change not only how we use technology to interact and communicate but also how we interact and communicate face to face. There is a change occurring in the world..are you ready? How do you feel about it?

Didn't do much in Second Life over the weekend ...live music events really have me hooked and I stumbled across Dexter Moore...this guy is a great talent..I had to buy a CD. I can't wait to listen to it in my treks across South Dakota.

Another great up and coming talent playing at Rythym Park (I think) if I am wrong about the name of the venue I will correct that...he is there on Sundays..Fabius Aries ( I think) ...plan your fun using the events calendar from Second LIfe's website. I thought maybe traffic on SL would slow down now that Spring is spring up ..but I think last night was the highest number of people I have sen in-world at one time 86,000 and I thought I had read somewhere that 80000 was all that could be in world at one time. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Find info on Fabius here: http://fabiusaries.weebly.com/


Still working on assessment ...need to get focused on this important issue.
