Inga Wind Clothing

It all began on Wednesday evening…Whirl and I went to see Ziffy and BlindBoink play at the Tuscan Sun, at a new club they just opened for acoustic performances. It’s really a nice place, and is run by two great people Seabreeze and Pajoel. So, Blind is on stage and he announces, hey you should book Whirl and Bart to play here…so almost immediately I get am IM from Pajoel and next thing I know we are scheduled to play the very next day on Thursday right after Senjata Whitt (Another really awesome musician).

So we head over on Thursday to play, next thing I know all of our friends are there, but also almost every musician that we know shows up. Well we are totally humbled. Thank you so much Blindboink and also Pajoel for letting us play at your wonderful club. We will be back there every Weds night following Blindboink and Ziffy.

Friday evening we normally play Cair Paravel, but this was a special day. Yes we know it would have been Elvis Preseley’s 75th birthday, but more importantly it was Derek Sienkowitz’s RL birthday and so we headed over to Inga Wind’s store to play.

It was here we learned with sadness that Inga’s father had passed away.

We played for about an hour to a small crowd, but a fun crowd

Saturday we play at Guthrie’s in the morning, the number of people was pretty good for us.

We also played on Saturday night at Cookie Farm, great turnout and we even got Whirl to sing a new song.

Thank’s to all of you who come out and support not just us, but all the musicians in Second Life. Its funny but true, the more there are of you…the happier it makes us feel and that translates to a better show..no kidding..you do make the difference :)

See you next week
Bart and Whirl

Thanks y’all for coming out to one or more of our performances. And especially for coming to whirligig’s RL birthday celebration.

The fun began on Friday evening at the Gaslight at 6 PM SL (SL is the same as Pacific TIme), there were so many friends and new folks there. You are all really great folks.

Saturday we played first at the Cookie Farm at 5 PM SL, our first appearance there since October. This was our first regular gig in SL and we do enjoy playing there. Thinkerer Melville has alway been so helpful to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to play there as well.

Late on Saturday we played at Woodstock, around 11 PM SL time, we had lots of folks come to hear us, even met some of the hobos that we do not know (since we are never up that late).

Then on Sunday Arman Finesmith played for whirligig’s Birthday celebration at 6 PM SL in Cair Paravel. We played lots of the songs we really like. Arman is such a fine musician that he is just a joy to listen to. If you haven’t heard him, he keeps a list of his next performances in his profile. Check it out, you will love it.

The celebration for whirl continues tonight, when Blindboink Parham comes to Cair Paravel to play for whirl’s birthday as well, because of the holiday Blindboink could not come on Sunday, and I am glad we were able to get him booked, as he is another very fine musician. So come out tonight (12/1/09) at 6 PM SL to Cair Paravel.

Peet @ Home Cooked Music!

Been installing just a few applications on the server, and sadly the TonePort from Line6 has already failed. By failed I mean the presence of audio noise; a clicking appearing at random times.

I am not sure when it happened but it was either after installing the native instrument drivers or when I plugged the mixer back into the FireWire port.

I will try and isolate it tonight, it’s not that I use the toneport that much but the whole purpose of this rebuild was to try and eliminate the noise sources. As much as I could.

One bright note the noise floor has dropped and our audio signal was so loud last night it was actually tripping the feedback protection circuit which I had never seen happen before.

So much to learn….but it is fun
