no one's stopping me from lying around; there's surely something to it all." - Steve Hackett, Racing in A Friends and listeners, you've heard me present Racing in A , by Steve Hackett, in several sets over the past year.  What you didn't know is when I played that song I was nodding to a particular listener, a close friend of mine, (also named Steve), who loved Progressive Rock music. My friend, Steve, was one of those talented people who could play just about any instrument he picked up, but drums were his instrument of choice.  He played in several local bands, most of which you've probably never heard of.  He also produced an album or two. Steve was a long-time, family friend who was not in Second Life, but who listened to my broadcasts online and gave me feedback, usually by texting to my phone.  My Down-tempo set was originally a mix-tape I'd made just for Steve. Steve passed away last week, after a sudden illness and complications.  My husband...

As much as I am happy to say goodbye to 2017, I am sad that my New Year has started off with a lingering flu virus and the news that a dear friend passed away yesterday. Iliana Cerese and I shared our love for the color, Purple, and for music.  Iliana's typist, Paxton, was one of very few people whose musical tastes were similar to mine.  Paxton used to call many of his female friends "Sis", but I really felt like we could have been related. My typist is only three years his senior, and we had many things in common.  My "Sis" won't be at The Temple for my show on Thursday night, though she would have loved it. I'll be doing a couple of fun things in her honor. Please join me for some  Lactose-free tunes about Cows, Cowboys, Cowgirls, Milk, and Ice Cream.   My pachyderm pal has the flu, but I've befriended a Purple Cow who consented to being "tipped", and she has some special treats for my donors.

Winter has arrived in Rosehaven! The ponds have iced over just in time for a Skate Party to celebrate December birthdays, rezdays, and the holidays in general. Today, beginning at 3:30 pm, Pacific Standard Time and SLT, I will present 2 hours of 1980s Pop/Rock music for your ice skating pleasure. These are the tunes that my typist, as an Intern for a "World Famous", radio personality, took requests for and heard on commercial radio rotation in the mid-1980s.  As part of that personality's entourage, I enjoyed some amazing holiday experiences that I will never forget.  These are also the tunes that my typist, as a newlywed, danced to with my husband and friends at office holiday parties in the late 1980s, (when I was no longer with a radio station).
