Why should I play another game? how rude and insulting. What I find impressive, and my visitors probably varies by person. Some may like the Classism, the "Acropolis like" form of the build from my parcel's viewpoint, some might cam in and enjoy the little details like the Pathfinder Lester or Seifert Surface objects. Some might just like it because it is protected water. It doesn't need to be impressive or look like it is from another game, it would be out of place if it did. It just needs to look good and look interesting. It fulfils that function fine to my taste.

I am very pleased with the view from my parcel of a Governor Linden prim build

I suggest looking for the grid drivers of SL group,( or something like that I am on my phone now so can't check precise name). The group publishes a route each week across mainland stopping at 3 or 4 locations of interest along the journey. It is a great way to find places on mainland

My intan used to have adult animations in and the TIS the dances. The regulars always got a laugh out of new couples joining us and finding that out in the middle of the dancefloor 😀

She is great and so theatrical in her playing style. Thanks for sharing

Another pianist. This was totally improvised album. He turned up for a concert and they had a smaller piano to what he was expecting, so he just improvised something to fit the piano. Creating a phenomenally successful album (for a solo jazz album) around the globe.

"Rez box" will bring up some results but I think "rezzer" likely to be a more targeted search for what you want. A rezzer works by adding a script to the set of furniture you want to control and using a controller to rezz the objects with the script in at the location you set. They come in different varieties, some work to control, individual items, with others you can store groups of objects in a scene. Some have a limited range others work across a full region. A more complex one might even have built in teleportation facility so you can rezz your scene 2000m up and click a teleporter beam to travel there and back. Ones with scenes are likely to require some notecard editing to set them up. Read the marketplace descriptions carefully to check it will meet your needs without being too complicated. Note because they work by adding a script the objects you use do have to be both copy and mod.

I run cruises similar to the way Topless Cruisers do, in fact they took the idea from Topless Sailors, who predate them by a few years. Topless Sailors Cruising club run cruises on Mondays at Noon SLT. Leeward Cruising Club run cruises Sundays at 13:00 SLT and Tuesdays at 17:00 SLT. They stated the cruise format in SL nearly 15 years ago. On Fridays I help run Tradewinds Cruises at 13:00 SLT. On Saturdays at 4:00 & 10:00 SLT Rainbow Sails YC runs a cruise and again on Sunday at 10:00. Rainbow Sails is a slightly different format in that we break twice along the route to regroup, socialise and take comfort breaks. Rainbow Sails don't have an after cruise party, instead we have a "party" at Noon on Weds.. more just a rotation of people providing a music stream and socialising. All 3 groups I am involved with have separate identities, but a lot of overlap in participants. They each have their own group and marina to advertise events. They also advertise in SLSA & SLSC groups. I have no involvement with LCC but used to be a regular and more than happy to recommend them along with Topless Cruisers. There are other groups (eg Friday Knights and Phoenix Rising) that run cruises most advertise in the SLSA group, that is the best group for finding a sailing event that fits your availability. The only cruise I know of that doesn't advertise on SLSA is the one I help run for my motorcycle club on Saturday at Noon. Rocking Rollers MC. Check the picks on my profile for their regions and more info.

Another Jazz pianists album from around the same time:

Some 70s Jazz with Mary Lou Williams with Buster Williams – bass, and Mickey Roker – drums From Wikipedia: Mary Lou Williams was an American jazz pianist, arranger, and composer. She wrote hundreds of compositions and arrangements and recorded more than one hundred records (in 78, 45, and LP versions).[2] Williams wrote and arranged for Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, and she was friend, mentor, and teacher to Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Tadd Dameron, Bud Powell, and Dizzy Gillespie.

I bought an Anne Briggs album earlier today, truly extraordinary voice. This song is normally sung as a Sea Shanty, but she sings it as a lament, acapella. Truly sublime.

And ten year later electronic music had moved towards music like this from Future Sound of London

For some reason, maybe time period being discussed and Lazy Calms laid back electronica reminded me of Brian Eno and David Byrne's extraordinary My Life in the Bush of Ghosts album from 1981. Here is a track off it featuring Dunya Younes sampled vocals.

That sounds a lot like horizons. In that respect they already have a pilot to learn from and evaluate. From my perspective Horizons was a huge success, 100% ownership and high resale value.

In you first recent post you wonder amongst other things why people abandon land rather than selling. I don't recall ever selling land except on one occasion where I contacted a neighbour to ask if they wanted it. When I abandon land it is because I have found somewhere I want to buy, leaving me option to go up tier levels or abandon land to get the tier I need. I understand the benefits of selling but the few thousand you would make back on a quick sale doesn't seem worth it for the risk of the land you want getting bought before you make the sale or the cost of upping your tier level. I wonder more at people paying tier on land listed for sale and why they do that. Unless of course we are talking water access parcel worth tens or hundreds of thousands of Linden dollars, but those are exceptional.

The way I use land is admittedly unusual. I create public spaces to attract visitors with a secondary purpose of using them as destinations for cruises where for an hour or so there will be around 20-30 people dancing and socialising. The place likely to be used for a party no more than once a quarter normally, so whilst I benefit from the way resources currently can be used on a region I don't think it is an excessive use. It does mean that at my Zindra place I can't really use it for parties, limiting its value to me.
