On Friday, May 24, we were very fortunate to have the talented TerryLynn Melody perform for us in SpotON3D's first "Alive" concert, which featured her avatar playing in world in front of a large video screen showing TerryLynn performing via a simultaneous live video feed. It was a great experience, and we hope that this will be the first of many such concerts in SpotON3D that follow this format.
The performance featured original songs from her upcoming compilation, "Watch That Turn", which is scheduled to be released in 2013.
If you missed TerryLynn's concert, then shame on you :) But I'm happy to say that it was recorded for all to enjoy! It's at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWADtcPIpZs, but you can also watch it below:
Thanks TerryLynn, for gracing our stage on Friday. We hope to see you back soon!

Recently, many of you who visited our blog site were being suddenly redirected away to a different page, which contained various ads. The only way to see the blog page was to use the back button, which may or may not have redirected you again. Not everyone was experiencing this, but it was happening often enough to be extremely annoying.
We traced down the behavior to one of the "gadgets" that display along the right-hand side of the blog. Removing that gadget seems to have fixed the problem.
Hopefully we have seen the last of these ads, and you will now be able to visit our blog site in peace!

quality that is delivered with intelligence and captivating emotion.“

A Great Performer with an Amazing Background
Barby is a seasoned performer who has been pleasing audiences for three years in Second Life as CelticMaidenWarrior Lancaster, and now brings her awesome talent to SpotON3D! She plays all your old favorites from America, Eagles, Carole King, Carly Simon, Van Morrison....etc, etc. She knows 2001 tunes, and if she can't do the song you request, she is sure to be able to substitute one you won't be disappointed in. She even learns songs that her fans have requested she learn.
Celtic taught herself to play the guitar in 1971 when she was 13 years old. Her first performance was at an 8th grade talent contest, for which she sang Kris Kristofferson’s “Me and Bobby McGee”. She spent her teen years in the middle of her bed with her John Denver song books. When she left home to join the Air Force, she married and quickly started a family which left little time for guitar playing. During the mid 1980’s she found comfort in performing worship music for her mission church in Okinawa, Japan, as well as singing in a contemporary Christian band which toured around the island. She performed in the USOs for American Military servicemen and their families. Celtic has also broadcast live on Japanese radio from the Okinawa Zoo, and Botanical Gardens. She traveled to the Philippines and performed for 5000 people in a dilapidated athletic auditorium, and traveled around the barrios sharing music with the local people. Now Celtic is playing everything from folk to classic rock and easy listening, and rounds it off with traditional Celtic ballads (which she does acapella).

On Saturday, May 11, 2013, at 11am Pacific time, we at SpotON3D are pleased to be hosting the very first event for the Metaverse Cultural Series 2013! Avacon Inc., who put together the series, is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the growth, enhancement, and development of the metaverse and 3D Web spaces, by holding gatherings to promote educational and scientific inquiry into these spaces.
This event, entitled "The Armchair Author Show", will be held at the SpotON3D Theater. Once you're logged into SpotON3D, you can click the above link to be transported directly to the show. Or better yet, click the 3DWeb Widget at the top of this blog to log in AND go directly to the theater location!
The "Armchair Author Show" will be hosted by Adele Ward of Ward Wood Publishing (http://www.wardwoodpublishing.co.uk). Adele will be interviewing author Patricia Averbach, whose debut novel Painting Bridges was released recently.
Author Liz Rozenburg says this about Patricia's novel: "Pat Averbach's Painting Bridges is a graceful debut novel of grief and
redemption. Part memorial, part love story, part coming-into-one's-own,
it is a classic narrative that reaches out to every kind of reader. "
Patricia workshopped her novel in Second Life®, so the 3D Web has played an important part in her success as an author. In November, her debut poetry collection will be published as a prize for winning the International Lumen/ Camden Poetry Competition judged by acclaimed American poet Anne Stevenson.
Patricia's novel is published by Bottom Dog Press, Inc., as part of their Harmony Series (http://smithdocs.net/harmony_series). You can purchase it directly from here with your PayPal account. It is also available for sales on Amazon.com®.
