Sometimes it feels like the whole world is happening around you. What is the saying, dance like there is no one watching. Music is a medium that brings people together, no matter what has been going on in your life, what drama has played out during the day, when you can sit back and just relax with the magic of a melody/song, let your mind and thoughts disappear into a world that transports you to another level of awareness. Mind altering. If you are lucky enough to be able to hear live music, and share that experience with others… it is a musical wonderland. Positive energy! Personal journey!
Past, Present and Future, always remember to be sincere and honest. At ay time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself. At each moment in time, there is sure to be a way to express yourself in relation to your position or status. (PL2019.6)
Trow has been playing this month, at Voodoo Lounge, (Isle du Noir), Warehouse Speakeasy, the Creede Colorado Fall fair, and now this coming Thursday, October 19th, he’ll be on Spice Island, at the Spice Restaurant and Social Club Park. 3 pm slt. (note time) This is your taxi to Spice Island http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Commonwealth/145/124/3538 watch for the notice on that day.
I was asked recently if his performances are all the same, and the answer to that is NO.. Trow has been playing professionally in RL for a long time, and in SL almost 16 years. He has a very varied inventory of songs/music… he delights in mixing them up to give his audience something different every set. He will often change up his set to suit the “mood” or ambience of the venue. His long time fans know, he can be full of surprises. If you have yet to catch him .. you are in for a treat… no two sets are ever the same.
Doc Avalon suggested we visit the haunted house on Isle du Noir, China’s first reaction.. this would be a great place for a party…. then she met the guests. (^_^) It is a great place for all you camera buffs out there that want to take pictures in your newest and latest scary outfits for the next two weeks. It’s posh and has class, if somewhat unique it has an elegance that is scary…. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Isle%20Du%20Noir/153/128/2501
Trow plays the Warehouse Speakeasy the first Thursday of every month. Watch for him November 2. 5 pm slt. Notices will be sent out in advance.

Dave Renz fills in ….(the song is Billy Joel’s Scene from an Italian Wedding)
Sometimes in life, you get a call that sets you on an adventure. You have all at one time or another heard me refer to activities in Second Life, ( virtual world created by Linden Labs, CA) There is an avatar in SL called Trowzer Boa, who performs in SL 5, 6 times a month when his RL schedule permits. There is a wealth of talent that cannot always be showcased in the virtual environment. Dave is professional musician in RL and plays in SL to entertain his followers there, and enjoy a more laid back opportunity to have fun with his music. Here he is playing at a concert in PA. called in last moment to fill in for their regular saxophonist who unfortunately could not make it.
Let’s find the joy in everything. Are you looking for things to complain about? Let’s change our perspective and live a cheerful and joyful life.

Always have presence of mind. If you overexert yourself, you will get easily swayed by emotion. Always put the best Makoto (sincerity) with presence of mind.

Have a great week everyone, there is nothing you can’t do if you really set your mind to it.
Yesterday the world came together to mourn the loss of one of the most loved saxophonists of all time, Wayne Shorter. He passed away Thursday morning in Los Angeles at the age of 89. His lyrical jazz compositions and pionering saxophone playing sounded through more than half a century. He was an influential jazz musician who over the span of his career touched the lives of many aspiring musicians. In 2015 he was given a lifetime achievement Grammy. He was foundational member of two of the most seminal jazz groups: Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and the Miles Davis Quintet. Someone said ” his composition and delivery are otherworldly”.
I myself in listening and researching his life and music found his music to have a “haunting” quality. Last night in a tribute to him (an hour tribute in SL by performer/saxophonist. Trowzer Boa (Dave Renz), we were reminded of how much he loved to explore the sights/sounds of the Orient. He was an innovator during an era of change.
Herbie Hancock (@herbiehancock) on Twitter said his best friend Wayne Shorter “left us with courage in his heart, love and compassion for all, and a seeking spirit for the eternal future” He went on to say. “as it is with ever human being, he is irreplaceable”. Thank you Herbie for a sentiment that says it all.
Check his smile, he had the gentlest smile and he used it often, his music will live on, he wrote and played his “heart/soul” sharing his “vision”…He was a jazz visionary.
Your smile is what’s needed. A smile invites happiness and cheer and is essential to energize others as well as yourself.
