For this week’s SL Love Thursday, I want to take a minute to thank all the live musicians who are a part of SL. I had no idea there was such a wealth of music in SL until I stumbled across my first Keiko concert in August 2007, and I’ve been a Keiko fan ever since. She’s still my favorite even though I’ve gone on to find other great musicians in SL like Winston Ackland, and I wish I had more time to go to concerts and find new favorites as well.

There’s something very special about sharing a concert with some of the same people time after time. It’s almost like an extended family catching up with everyone. I always get a smile on my face when Keiko mentions me on the stream and when some of the old regulars show up at a concert after a long time away. Earlier this week, Keiko released her first full-length CD for purchase, and she’s celebrating with daily concerts in SL this week, which has been a real treat.

As part of the week-long concert series, Keiko will be playing at my home sim Covet on the dock specially created for the event by my good friend and fellow sim co-owner Kere Delcon. The concert begins at 6pm SLT on Friday, May 22, and we’re going to have so much fun! Come hang out with us and listen to some great music while maybe doing a little shopping at Exile, Shine, and Treads. I hope to see a bunch of you there.
