What a party! It may not have lasted that long but it was a huge buzz. The first time we managed to stream our own live music from Nelson, New Zealand into the Kauri grove on Koru. (OK nothing new for SL but new for us!). The occasion was a surprise Kiwi Educators party for Isa Goodman’s 2nd rezday (He’s now one of the terrible twos!) and we used it as a reason to finally make the music happen! What a great start to NZ Music month.
Toddles Lightworker kindly lent us the use of his streaming account, Thelonius Ra was the engineer and Mandosam Carter played guitar, mandolin and sang and oh we all danced! A very big thank you to everyone.
So will we be doing it again? Oh yes! We have PLANS. We hope to have Mandosam again, other musicians too, and eventually we hope to offer SL as a live performance venue for students on the RL Diploma of Contemporary Music Perfomance here at NMIT. And wouldn’t it be great to be able to offer the winners of the Smokefree RockQuest a gig in SL as one of their prizes? How about it Pete?!
So once again a special thanks to all those who put up with my nagging and made it all happen – it is very much appreciated – and tired though he was I hope Isa liked his little surprise. We wouldn’t be here today without you Isa – so a very BIG thank you to you too!

I have to say that I am not hugely into SL. But this evening was so much fun. The music was fabulous. I have only one complaint…it wasn’t long enough!
But, I just don’t think I have the bum for the crazy dancing!

Thank you Sarah – it was great to see you there! especially as I know SL is not your favourite place! Your support is really appreciated – and you never know with a few more hooleys like this one you might even get to enjoy it! We will be doing more but tonight both performer and engineer had prior engagements (it was rather a last minute thing!). Watch out for an invitation to the next one!
