Default Second Life

Second Life offers lots of opportunities for musicians, and some are becoming well known by giving concerts there that other avatars attend and even make money by tips and providing links to their CDs on a website. Casinos there advertise and pay for live bands. It's pretty weird, but worth checking out by going to secondlife.com and reading the magazine articles that have been published. Live concerts are very popular. You can join for free and walk around and check it out - look under events and search for live music. I would be happy to help individuals there understand the world of SL - just send a message to Jazz Glineux by sending an IM to this name when you join SL.
My interest is in the concept of having multiple avatars play in a band together from multiple locations (using Ninjam) - I would log into the Ninjam server and then pipe the jam into the house I bought there (a barn for practicing) using my shoutcast server. I can provide interested musicians instruments that are scripted to look like they are being played (drums, guitar, keyboard, bass). Eventually, I could arrange for a concert performance in one of the many venues there. SL is full of creative people doing things like this for no other reason than that it's cool and weird.....
