Reviews:

Here is what Tone's real life favorite blues DJ, Marty Kool (his actual name) had to say about Tony Uribe aka Tone Uriza and his band Tony & the Torpedoes in the real world,

 "When I think of the great bluesmen like Albert Collins, Albert King, Freddy King, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and so many more, I notice a recurring theme. Along with endless creativity and musical talent comes the fact that they play the blues because they “gotta”. Like John Lee Hooker says, “It’s in ‘me, and it’s gotta come out”. That’s the sign of the genuine article. Tony Uribe falls into this category. The feeling he projects through his soulful singing and tasteful guitar work is completely sincere. Tony takes his music seriously. Every note is honest and heartfelt, burning with passion. This is contemporary blues, built on a foundation of respect for tradition. On this foundation, and out of this respect, Tony has developed a style all his own: a style with style. I mean style like a ’58 Buick ragtop has style. That’s class!

   Whether it’s lowdown, or uptown, Tony and band aim the beat at your feet. When they take the stage, dance floors fill up. They don’t just dance where he plays; they follow him wherever he plays. This is “feel good” music. When the band feels good, the crowd feels good. And his band always feels good. Tony’s conduct as a gentleman of the blues, his gracious invitations to young up and coming musicians to sit in, and his commitment to quality have garnered him the respect of his contemporaries, too. He’s shared the stage with bluesmen as diverse as Homesick James and Ronnie Earl, while the area’s top musicians jump at the chance to fill in whenever the opportunity arises.” – Marty Kool  (DJ host of the Saturday evening Blues Review every week from 6 to 9 pm on Tucson’s KXCI 91.3 FM Community Radio.)

Not a day goes by in Second Life that you won't find a live music event or performance by amateurs or professional musicians.

Fighting lag and technology, the fans come out in droves to hear their favorite musicians.



The support for music of all kinds is a major draw to this virtual world!

THE MILL - Karter Stonecutter

THE MILL - Karter Stonecutter, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.







A lovely special evening tonight at THE MILL where I got to hear for the first time, Karter Stonecutter. A voice full of rock angst seasoned and experienced. You just know he has had a career in music.




Loegan Magic and Porter Paquot has a great place called THE MILL where they welcome avatars to just hang out for parties, live music and even trivia nights!


In Loegan's words about Karter Stonecutter: 


"A self-taught musician, Karter plays by ear and has paved his successful professional path with no formal training. His travels have placed him on stage with Michael McDonald, The Temptations, Cheap Trick, Heart, Jackson Browne, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jefferson Starship, Air Supply, The Tubes and Frankie Goes To Hollywood."

So many people of such incredible talent are performing in Second Life. Live musicians who perform their own compositions and others with talent so rich that they also perform with electronic enhancement.





No matter, these musicians deserve our support. Tonight, Dale Katscher is performing at Key West Resort, Liz Harley's awesome outdoor venue. Dale performs many of his own compositions and when he does a cover, he owns it with his own interpretation.







What I hope is that the avatars in Second Life appreciate the musicianship of each and every musician on this grid. Support each other and thrive as a music industry!

Oh, man do we "got the blues" at the end of the year. This is the time of year for reflection and praise of the best. And, I was in the mood for some down low blues.



Blues musician, Ganjo Mokeev is simply a great live performer on the Second Life grid. His bluesy guitar just wails the right emotion and compliments his rockin' voice. Tonight, he is playing at Pannie's.





This is party time and every club and venue has dj's, live acts and more. Get out there folks and party till it's 2011!

What a great year 2010 has been for us. 



THE A LIST! tries to network everyone's business interests here in Second Life by providing a vehicle of transparency. We allow you to use this group for your needs. We even allow you to form your own group by using our resources to network. We do not restrict much except for the big no no's. We want our notices to be informative without drama or unsavory language. And, most of all, we respect you as business owners, group owners, club/venue owners, and artists/musicians.



The benefits are great for us, too. We get to hang out with you and attend great parties when we have the time. We go to your events because we really want to; not just because you are in our group. We applaud joyously for our musicians. We believe in you and we truly enjoy your music.









What we hope is that you all understand that we are doing the best we can with the limited resources and man-power to blog and social network your interests. Please do not allow your feelings to fester. Communicate with us if you see a problem or criticism. We are not perfect. And, real life often interferes with our schedule, so sometimes we can not be where we want to be with you.




We have also started a new flickr group called THE A LIST! Virtual. Please join us and share your photos. We want to tell everyone about your personal and business interests. Help us to spread the word about you!
