Tea for two always nice, especially when Art Tatum serving

Molly Bloom's work springs to mind with regard to breaking free from a flat canvas. One of their works as an example captures the stumble of an Alice in wonderland styled Knave or Queen with a pack of cards in their hand, the cards flying out from the frame frozen in a moment. With SL you can create effects that can't be done in real life.

Not just comedy, SL art is a great medium for Trompe L'oeil or for surreal\ post-modern juxtapositions of ideas. Comedy is good but you can also use those techniques to be thought provoking.

Head and shoulders above othe tree house options in my opinion at least is the old Laq Decor Treehouse (now Heima), it does require a 6000m2 parcel though. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/HEIMA-Serene-Tree-Windmill-Home/6876323

Some of my favourite artworks from SL reference SL in some way. Just as examples I have a series that are classic paintings where the humans are replaced by Tinies eg the Nighthawks at the Diner redone with Tinies. Another artist did a cut out avatar with a woman twisted in a scream as she reaches to her bald head - obvious to the observer that her hair hasn't rezzed. Another by an Italian Artist with a framed scene being built with prims complete with cut out long haired male outside the frame arm raised with dotted line extending to a prim he is manipulating within the frame. Not suggesting you copy that exactly, I just think if you can make the art in some way refer to the SL experience it adds a smile and a bit of additional interest.

This just came up on my Youtube feed after the last song. The modern version of the song, perhaps better than the original.. For when two drummers just not enough to do a tune justice!

Mahavishnu Orchestra, an amazingly influential virtuoso group playing live in 1972. John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, Rick Laird 0:00 Meeting of the Spirits/You know you know 11:36 Lotus on Irish Streams 21:00 Noonward Race

Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane's wife made some extraordinary music a leading proponent of Spiritual Jazz. I think I have posted this on here before, maybe 400 pages ago... so perhaps timely to put on here as reminder for those that might have missed it.

Curious why the bed is contacting a server? Been a while since I got my bed by them out... it did all sorts of things even had music in it if I remember right. Maybe see if you can get an update in the store? maybe they have an update for your bed that doesn't depend on a server to function?

In cases where in world vendors have run dry and are still making sales I would have thought it would be worth Linden Lab investigating, and if verified turning the boxes off whilst they contact the vendor to find out what is going on. Dismissing reports as resident to resident disputes and doing nothing increases the number of people losing money and losing faith in the way the economy works.

Some flamenco with Paco De Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin

Just found this a promotional live recording of Jan hammer's great Melodies album: Great to hear it live, a wonder it was never released to wider audience than radio stations.

Joni Mitchell version with Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Michael Brecker, Don Alias:

Jeff Beck's version of a Mingus classic:

At the moment I am re-listening to his 70s music, he left his audience behind at the time but albums like Dark Magus & Agharta are great albums on re-appraisal. Distinctive, funky & noisy. Experimenting finding a different path to contempories like Donald Byrd, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Billy Cobham and Stanley Clarke were going.

Another classic Miles Davis Album:

Some more great Jazz, opener to Ah Um: Miles Davis Genre making with his first electric album

The Labelle version was what made the song popular and great version, great arrangement a classic.. but this is the original

It seems to be 2016 when Ross, Calleta etc were moved to the Former or inactive hubs section. Plum and Violet moved there in 2014. The 2011 version of the page didn't have any section on former and inactive hubs. At the top of the page you can press the "revision history" button and you get a list of edits to the page by date, the Prev link in each listing shows some information about the edit and at the bottom how the page would have displayed at that time. I would have thought if you raise a support ticket to ask what happened at Ross to lose the Infohub status you should get an answer. It remains a great location to visit and to find things of interest to do.

My immediate thought on this was summed up by this quote: “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.” Groucho Marx Anyone wanting the gated community experience can make their own or hang out in a Premium sandbox.
