May in Pics

I looked over my photos from May, and realized I still had so many that I had not posted.  I thought I would share them as we wound down the month.   Simply photos of some of your favorites!  -  and some of your rooftop favs like Sweet Lilly Pinelli and AMForte.  Maybe you were there. My rounds took me all over the grid, but these are some of the photos not posted - also including MrMikie and The Dreamers, Tusko Okey, and last night I closed out the month with Freestar Tammas at Villa Lobos!

Me (above) hangin' with my friend Valiant Westland.  He was truly impressed, as most are with The Roof upon their first visit.  Lingual Markus (below) of The Roof@NYC always draws an amazing crowd, and has his share of full sims on his rooftops.  

For a change of pace, what about Mr. Mikie and The Dreamers.  

And the beat went on with Tusko Okey!   Always a rockin' bluesy show.

Last night I dropped into the last half of the show Freestar Tammas. WHAT a smooth voice, with a perfect vocal range. You gotta hear her!!! She masters the top talents of today, and of the recent past.

Hope you enjoyed the picture show!

Be sure to support live music!  By the way, the BOSL Radio summer schedule is always a bit off, depending on our live radio remote.  Catch me when you can on weekends (usually Saturdays 11AM SLT) playing your SL favorite musicians on the radio!

Full Moon in Second Life

One of the most talented artists on the grid is Edward Kyomoon. I was listening to him before Blu Drucot took to the stage at Key West Island Sunday April 17th. But it was also fun seeing him stream from his studio at The Rock Store earlier on March 30th. I am looking to add his music to my Saturday show on BOSL Radio. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, enjoy these pics (click on them to see large view).

Enjoy! :) Soni

A bit of bio about Matthew (from his notecard at Mad Wax Records)

He was born and raised in rural Texas, and landed gigs in North Texas. He took a leap of faith to New York in 2002 to start a solo career, and then moved back to Dallas/Ft Worth in 2006.

In 2003, his songs off of his debut solo album, Texas, were featured on the PBS series Roadtrip Nation, and on National Public Radio's All Songs Considered. His second album, February, was released in 2008.

He's been on the grid for awhile - August 16, 2006!

FEATURED ON THE BOSL RADIO MORNING SHOW!!!!

FROGG MARLOWE

Here's the official bio:

Frogg Marlowe has always been involved in the performing arts, from music to theater. Early on in Frogg's musical career he was involved in a jazz choir, which can still be heard in his vocals, and especially in acapella songs. Acquiring a harmonica soon followed, and Frogg spent many a night at the local venues combining the two. Even though most all his songs now include guitar, he has only been playing it for about five years.

Frogg started playing in SL over a year ago, and thanks to all the support is still going strong. It's difficult to categorize Frogg's playing style, but it involves a lot of jazz, blues, and folk. These days, he is usually joined on stage by Jaycatt Nico, who started playing during his show breaks and now helps out with a wide variety of duets. Frogg has his own website with a CD for sale, at http://www.froggmarlowe.com.

Listen for Frogg's music on BOSL Radio!

Faces Behind the Music

A typical night for me is checking out the music scene. Okay, after a long Wednesday in RL and a short nap, I checked the SL event listings, and was happy to catch the second half of an AcousticEnergy concert. If you don't know AE, here's a recent blog I wrote about him performing at Nantucket. On this Wednesday night, it was good to chill to AE's music, and to hear him mention my name in one of his songs (LOL), always fun even though that is part of his regular routine to mention names of his listeners and weave them into the lyrics.

* * *
So then I popped off to hear LizAday Solo. I recently featured her music on my SL Music Show (now Saturdays, 2-4PM SLT) on BOSL Radio. I never saw her in performance. So this was a great experience, to put voice to AV, at the venue Four Moons. All good fun. She was performing with golden Xenno on bass.

* * *
Then off to The Roof at NYC. Always a blast there, and plenty of live music compliments of owner Lingual Markus. Another cool guy. The Roof is styled for Big Apple lovers. On this night, Chip Takacs was performing. He started off with some classic Floyd, and then went through a range of rock tunes. Self admittedly, he was a bit nervous, but you couldn't tell. His show transitioned well and he had fun with his audience. His bio states that he is "a Motown & Clapton influenced Blues Guitar player. He digs oldies with a guitar sound & Classic Rock from the 60's and 70s. He has a typical Brooklyn attitude and isn't afraid to let it flow at his show, and the music has the same bend." You gotta love his accent, and the bit of seasoned gravel in his voice that added a nostaglic charm, as if stepping back a few decades.

Here's some shots below. BTW, he's the guy with the guitar. Lingual is hanging with BOSL events reporter, Kara Trapdoor.
