Norris Shepherd and EvaMoonEmber on a friday evening

It is always good to listen to Norris. Whatever mood you were in when you started listening I promise you it will improve. Norris is the kind of performer who relates to his audience all the time. He laughs a lot, and he will make you laugh. Both his guitar and voice are very gentle. I so much like his interpretations of especially Radiohead and Prince. This evening he also played the Beatles song: ” My guitar gently weeps”. I loved that. He was playing at Club CasaBlanco, and the theme was some kind of back to school, so Norris was standing behind a teacher’s desk. Of course the audience, or at least some of them, were dressed as pupils. People were having a really good time.
After having had our moods lifted by Norris we continued to Rastafairy Beach, a beautiful venue run by hexx Triskaidekaphobia and jsmn Jao. We wanted to listen to EvaMoon Ember. It is not the first time we have done that and certainly not the last.
What a woman! What a performer! She is a wonderful piano player with a fantastic voice. In first life she plays with her band The Lunatics, and in a lot of the songs she does in Second Life they have recorded the backing tracks. Her songs are about… Well I’ll quote from Eva Moon & the Lunatics’ homepage. I hope she doesn’t mind: "Her songs hit your ears like a double shot of espresso. Far from your typical singer-songwriter fare, they’re ironic, energetic commentaries on modern life - sexy comic jazz journey in the company of terrorist cats, Nigerian bank managers, sexy UPS guys, psychotic baristas and more. If you've ever lost your heart to a chocolate bar, frightened an innocent child, or traded a man for a vibrator, she has a song for you."
We were lucky to hear the premiere of her new song. I didn’t catch the title, but it was about falling in love with a woman, and it was beautiful. Fyrm was quite excited about it and kept telling Eva how great it was.
I can never get tired of saying, that it’s so great that you can listen to amazing music like that in Second Life, and you can do it for free. Of course you will tip the artist and the venue generously if you can, but basically…. It’s free.
