Coming Up In The World

This is a very exciting month for me, as I have officially become the newest member of the team at Radio Riel Internet Public Radio.

Radio Riel is celebrating its 10th Anniversary, and there are many special events being scheduled throughout the month of June.

As of this posting I don't have a date or time for my Radio Riel presentation, which will be part of the festivities, so please check back for that notice.  In the meantime I can tell you what I've got planned for my next dance at The Temple.

There are times when you want to be transported, to get your mind around some stuff it never encountered before. And what if the thing transporting you doesn't come from your neighborhood?

-- David Byrne, Crossing Music's Borders: 'I Hate World Music', The New York Times, October 3, 1999

Thursday, June 8, 2017 I will present 90 minutes of World-influenced, electronic, dance music. I hesitate to use the term "World Music", or even "World Dance", because those terms simply don't describe the many different styles of instrumentation or their origins. I'll call this multicultural, electronic, beat music, and I'll let you decide how you want to label it.  Better yet, let the music transport you to far-off lands, or just around the corner.

7:00 to 8:30 pm, Pacific Time (SLT)
The Temple in Rosehaven, (Second Life)
Recommended Attire: Comfortable, casual, and appropriate for the General/Moderate nature of the sim.

RezDay #4

Once again it is time to celebrate the day Prudence was "born" in Second Life.  I admit, I am not feeling very celebratory this year.  The past year of my First Life has been so challenging, to say the least, that throwing a virtual party in SL feels more like a chore than a celebration. I no longer "live" in a region where an annual hurricane coincided with my RezDay.  While that was never a problem for me, it did limit my options for parties.  This year I have my own venue, The Lair, in Rosehaven, as well as a nice parcel next door.  I've considered hosting a party at The Lair, but I am leaning more toward a summer aquatic theme and have begun decorating my home parcel for a "swim" party. On Sunday, August 19, beginning at noon SLT, my friends are welcome to drop by to play in the water with me.    Mer and other aquatic avatars are encouraged, but not required. Swimwear should be appropriate for a moderate region.   I may pre...

Gettin' Funky with Pru

This Thursday night at The Temple I'll be playing a set of Soul, R&B, and Funk music, which I'm dedicating to some very special friends. There is a story behind the dedication, and it goes something like this: I had traveled from California to Ohio to visit family, and two friends from Second Life drove from their respective homes in nearby states to meet me there. The three of us decided to go out for "Girls' Night", and I thought that a "Wine Bar" sounded like a good place to drink and chat.  You see, in my part of California, a Wine Bar is typically a more quiet, sophisticated place where the music is lowered enough that one can have a conversation.  In that part of Ohio I learned, "Wine Bar", means that the venue doesn't have a hard-liqueur license. We walked into this place that was bustling with energy, a mobile DJ was playing very loud tunes and people were dancing and playing a giant game of  "Connect Four".  Hal...
