THE BEST SECRET, A GREAT PLACE & AWESOME MUSIC!!!











The best way to describe Whiskey Go Round on a Saturday night when most of the shows have died down and all the musicians want a place to kick back an listen to each other and also singing some for the heck of it. After 8pm sl time this place starts to really hop and gets to be jammed packed with musicians, venue owners, & people who are interested in the most awesome live music that Second Life has to offer. Basically Saturday nights are know as Open Mic Night/Pass The Mic and each musician who signs up for it gets to sing 3 songs.
I have had the honour of seenig such greats as Grateful Stryker, Beth Odets, Lexi Luan, Paul Nowles, BartAlan Barbasz, Angelndskyz Galicia,Veronica Weksler, and many, many more. Many style of music for all people.
I have seen quite a few of these people in 1 hour shows and they are marvelous musicians who need to be recognized. But then again all the live musicians in SL need to be recognized for all the hard work that they do to put on those shows for us residents so that we have another reason to be here and stay here. The Pass The Mic concept is an awesome idea that they have there as it can give people a chance to hear a little bit of what each musician has to offer and they might think to themselves "hey I want to go listen to that person again", that is how groups get bigger and how venues and musicians get u as patrons.
With Whiskey Go Round I started going a few weeks back when a musician that I had heard about and seen youTube videos on, KevinBear, passed on and there was a Saturday pass the mic in his honour. I felt so honoured to be there with all these great musicians, some that I have known for quite some time and some that I knew only by name in notice. Ever since that night I go on Saturday nights there and now that will be my place to hang when all dies down from about 8pm sl time till whenever I decide to go to bed or they are done singing.
Come on over to the Haight Ashbury region and have a awesome time. join the group for Whiskey Go Round to see who all is playing when and dance with ur sweetie or just kick back dance on ur own like me. The people are friendly and the musicians are awesome people and who knows u just might get hooked on live music in SL just like me.
I know so many people who go to Whiskey Go Round and I have tried to put as many as I can in the links to the left for either
their calendars or their websites. If you go there, and I do really hope you give it one chance to have fun & you really love music, you can join their groups below I will list just a few different groups that I know don't have website or calendars. Groups are another way to find out where ur favourite musician is playing in SL. But most of all check out the Wall of Fame & atmosphere,at Whiskey Go Round, a place that dragonfly and BuffaloMike make everybody feel welcome and part of the family.
I hope I see everybody there soon<3

MORE GREAT MUSIC FROM OKLAHOMA!!!!!






There is a fantastic duo out of Oklahoma that I have come to call my friends and their music will make women melt. Lighthouse Mixmaster and Beamer Lowtide are that duo who are following other greats in SL from that state like Zachariah Loon, Ric Rembrandt, Strummer Vultee, Mort Shaman(Okie born)& finally Maxx Sabretooth.

Beamer has a voice of an angel and that will make u melt at times; Lighthouse, though, can really butter up those strings on that oh so lovely guitar of his. Both have many year in the business in rl according to there profiles.

Beamer, according to his profile, is a singer, songwriter, arranger, composer, performer, session musician, recording artist, stage manager, festival promoter and general music fanatic.

Lighthouse,well according to his, is a professional musician for SL & RL, live and session work; he is proficient in many styles including Rock, Jazz, Blues, Country, Southern Rock, Classical and Folk. That he has jammed with Ted Nugent, Jimmy Wallace and Bugs Henderson; has shared the stage with such artists as Tracy Byrd & Black Oak Arkansas and has been playing guitar since 1976..

Going to shows to see them is a real pleasure. I have tpd a friend from Oklahoma in and she was amazed.
She only lives about 5 hours from their recording studios in Tulsa. From the beginning these men have had a great following and their shows have always had many ppl.

To become a member of Lighthouse Rocks their group contact Lizabeth Andretti and booking are done through Shadow Tarber. You won't be sorry for an exciting and fun time. Calendar links are to the left for their shows in Second Life for you to see. I hope to see you there sometime<3
