I am excited and terribly humbled. Friends from around the world are gathering in jsut over 7 hours to start a music marathon of 26 hours duration. These friends reside and perform in a virtual world called Second Life and the marathon is being held at The Colour Factory. Even if you don’t have a second life account you can still listen in to the various artists streams as they go live.
Listed below are the first few to start the day….. ummm event 🙂 SL is based in San Francisco so it’s quite sane to start an event a 3pm in the afternoon But for those of us living the other side of the world it’s up and atttum at the crack of dawn — well almost 🙂
I really admire Bright Oh from Sydney because he is first off the rank at 8am his time and we get that husky just woke up voice 🙂 Please try and listen in some time over the next 26 hours – I’m sure you are in for a treat.

Stream: http://74.208.161.57:8164
SID, though quite new to performing, is not new to SL. Through a mic left at his UK home by accident in 2009 a talent was discovered. Whether an accident or fate led Sid to performing, once you have heard him you will learn it is a gift and Sid is sharing that gift with SL and pursuing it in RL.
Will post more later in the day 🙂
