SPOTLIGHT ON AARON CABOTT JONES- Orion Baral Reporting…

 Aaron Cabott Jones is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist with decades of experience writing his vast catalog of music. Beginning with his debut album Kaleidoscopic and The adventure of Aaron Cabott Jones at the famed Abby Road Studios where he created the first installment of his life’s work. His 10-track collection has a mix of psychedelic pop very reminiscent of the Beatles. In addition to a combination of new wave, brawny classic rock, and romantic orchestral pop. Aaron has a wide range of sounds that meshes well with his unique style.  Aside from his musical talent, at venues across the grid, his music will be featured in the upcoming feature film shot in Second Life called The Redemption of Donna Asher.

SLE: Thank you for sitting with us, it’s a pleasure to have you here. Let our readers know a bit about you, your history, your music history, etc.

Aaron:  I was born in Dreux, France. My dad was in the U.S. Air Force (late 50's), and a major fan of music. So, that naturally carried over to me and I grew up listening to all the big band stuff he listened to. So before the Beatles, Derrick And The Dominoes, Hendrix, and all that I was listening to Arty Shaw, Dorsey Brothers, Louis Armstrong, and other bands of that era. 

Three things got me into music. My buddy was killed in a train/car crash and his parents gave me his guitar. The other was my older brother bringing home LPs of The Beatles, Crosby Still, and Nash... Hendrix, Joplin... all of this after we moved Stateside.

I would go hang out with the DJs at WTOD in Toledo Ohio where we lived. They'd buy me Mcdonald's if I rode my bike to buy them lunch. One day I was taking the trash out and I opened the dumpster and there were all these 45 records. I forgot all about the trash and dove into this pile of records and brought home Beatles, Hendrix, Sly, And The Family Stone... Donavan... more Motown than you can imagine. You name it. That was before music was segregated. You could hear everything on one station. So, I took the records home and practiced the drums (my first instrument) by listening to them.

SLE: Neat story! There is no shame in dumpster diving. Look where it got you. Lol Anyway, everyone is affected by music in many ways. Can you describe what music means to you and how it affects you?

Aaron: I'm more affected by music when I'm singing and playing. Even more so when I'm writing a song. There's a certain high you get when you've written a song that feels right. And then others hear it and like it too.  American Jesus, Longing, Wish Upon a Starfish  are songs I think are particularly special. Wish upon a starfish is from my album The Adventures Of Aaron Cabott Jones. But songwriting is very therapeutic for me. I'm sure I'm not alone in that opinion. 

 

SLE:  We can certainly relate to that euphoric feeling when writing and sharing it with others. How long have you been performing in Second Life, but more importantly what drew you to Second life?

Aaron: Believe it or not, you're the first person that asked me that... It will be five years on February 24th, 2023. I originally came here to make a movie. The film is what I do outside of here. I heard about SL and checked it out. I saw the potential for experimental animation and already had a story in mind. 

Then I heard about the music scene here and checked that out for obvious reasons. So I started going to shows and asking questions and digging around to find out how I could start playing venues. And you wouldn't believe how hard it was to get help. No one would tell me anything. (LOL)... And no venue owner was interested in me unless I had a manager and or a following.

 

So, I thought well so much for the land of fantasy... this is exactly like real life....  (laughs).  Then I saw this event listed for an OPEN MIC... I don't remember the name of the venue. But I went to see who was playing there. This woman approached me ... Kandy Summerwind, and asked me if I was gonna sing... I told her what I wanted to do... She said, "I know a manager... His name is Bad Setner (badone)".  I said well... Is that a good thing?

 

Long story short... He took me on and we worked together hard and NONE STOP on the grid for 3.5 years. He'd already been at it for ten years. He just retired from managing about a year and a half ago. We were a good team. He knew everyone and he helped me get going. By the time Bad left, we were averaging 30 shows a month. 

 

Playing the grid is its own grind. And you earn your audience... 


SLE: You are a busy one in the realm of creativity. One question that I ask all musicians I interview is. When in the shower all alone what is your go-to belting out at the top of your lungs song? Embarrassing or not, ok if embarrassing it is better :)


Aaron: The Sound of Music... And I twirl around as Julie Andrews did on that grassy plane Dangerous to do if you're in the shower).  You know the line ... I think it's a rap song now... "the hills are alive and it's pretty frightening"



SLE: LOL We never would have guessed that. Please be careful. A spill in the shower is not very becoming.  Do you play any instruments or just sing to tracks?

Aaron: Yes. I'm pretty shy about playing instruments at shows but I do break out my strat once in a while. I play guitar, bass, and a little piano... A tiny thing I've had since birth... Honestly, I do play some piano. I have to work out the parts though... I can't just sit down and whale away. 

 

I'd like to add more live guitars in the future.


SLE: That’s a great idea. I think a lot of concert-goers like instruments being used over tracks. Tell us, what do you find different when performing live in front of an audience and then performing in your Avatar form in front of other Avatars?

Aaron: That's a good question.  For me, the connection is more immediate in SL. I love that you can chat right off with fans and thank them. Even make a new friend! People are there because they love music and love what you're doing.  Playing live in RL is a roll of the dice. Your music might as well be wallpaper. People aren't there to hear what you're doing or your interpretation of a song. They're there for the beer and food. Which is fine. But I love playing in SL far better.

I loved playing clubs in the '70s... I went back to the clubs in the late 90s and hated it. there was a sweet spot in the 70s for me and I was there at the right time (Toledo Ohio).  

SLE: You have been in the music scene for a few years and have probably seen a lot of things. If you can change one thing about the music scene in Second Life, what would it be and why?

Aaron: Honestly I can't think of anything I would change. Here's why.  The venue owners that Bring live music to the grid are doing it because they are genuine music lovers. Because of them, I get to do something I love! There is nothing to change about that. The people that want to do it for monetary gain or want to take advantage of performers are going to wash out.

So the community kind of monitors itself and self-corrects. I've heard some horror stories about how performers were abused. I have experienced very few of those situations. 


SLE: How can people get you booked to play at their venues?


Aaron: Contact my manager at: ~ KM Management ~ Kaysie Michigan

CALLING CARD: Kaysie Michigan in SL


SLE: Is there anything that we have not covered that you would like our readers to know about you, your music, and your thoughts?

 

I am particularly grateful for all the time people have taken to come to my shows in SL over the last 5 years!  It means so much to see people I've known since I started still coming to see me!  THANK YOU!

Aaron: I'm doing the music for a feature film that was shot here in SL.  IMDB The Redemption of Donna Asher

I'll be having some new singles out before the end of the year so keep an eye out for those!

 

But mostly, I want to thank you for inviting me to come and talk with you!  I appreciate the opportunity!

SPOTLIGHT ON TEMPORAL RADIO’S WET SPOT BEACH CLUB- SLE REPORTING…




As the seasons change in our natural world, many venues hold to the same theme. Since Second Life is our world, our imagination it is only proper for some venue owners to provide a summer beach-themed paradise all year round.

If you are an explorer looking for something new to do in Second Life, you will find many places around the environment to chill.

Interview with Rebel Rayn Storm and  DJ Snaxx (beeker.beeks)


SLE: Rebel Rayn and DJ Snaxx, it is a pleasure to meet up with you to learn more about Temporal Radio’s Wet Spot Beach Club.  Can you tell us a little about Temporal Radio's launch and the many MMO platforms across the metaverse?


DJ Snaxx: Temporal Radio was founded in 2013, to enhance the online gaming experience in Star Trek Online (STO). Since then, it has expanded into Star wars The Old Republic (SWTOR), GTA 5 online, Read Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), Second Life, and many other platforms. We host “parties” in those games, pretty much as we do in SL.


SLE: Having a radio station that spans many MMO Platforms, you have an advantage when it comes to inviting listeners to your events in Second Life. Can you tell our readers what they can expect from this visual location that represents your radio station?





DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: The Wet Spot Beach Club is more than just a radio station or club, we have 4 venues, the regular club, a Viking village, and a party pool, all where events can be held. The sim is extremely adult and clothing optional. We are proud to be sponsored by Temporal radio and it is a great outreach for us. We have table games, a pool, sauna, jacuzzi, Lil devil, bowling, waterslide, and also a 2700-meter motorcycle track. Open to anyone and everyone!


SLE: With so much to do from live music events, gaming, and even shopping, It must be difficult to manage, Who is part of the team, and what is their role?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: Owners are DJ Snaxx (beeker.beeks), Rebel (Rebelbrimstone), and ReaRoo (reagan.velvetleaf)...our GM is Hawk (h4z4rd Neox), the Host trainer is Nat (natalie.tungsten) and dance trainer Persey (persephone.lysette) along with our many amazing DJ's, host/ess and dancers.



SLE: Seems you have good solid staff but could always use good employees so are you currently hiring? If so what positions are available and how do they apply?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: We are hiring! We are looking for DJs, Host/ess, and Dancers and are willing to train anyone!


SLE: So help our readers know more about your venue. What type of events do you like to host and how often do these events take place?



DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: We have events on Thursdays from 7-9 pm slt from Ladies Night, Bodwatch by the Bay, and Storytime as well as concerts. Held every Thursday at different venues on the sim.


SLE: That is a very active schedule that is great to hear. So, this venue is geared towards the adult community, Are there any restrictions in attire, conduct, or access to areas of the sim?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: Clothing is optional anywhere on the sim. Over 18 only. Conduct is common sense, use respect and there will be no problems. There are no restrictions on access to the sim with the exception of private homes.



SLE: I am sure you two have some stories you can tell about some people attempting to or just not conducting themselves in an adult manner. But we will keep those stories for another time :) Tell our readers do you have a group to join or a calendar people can see for upcoming events?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: yes we have a google calendar and the link is...   https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/4fvlr15egsmm5aulbv4c232kr8%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics


SLE: For those that might be confused about your club and another club by a similar name, what sets yours apart and makes Temporal Radio's Wet Spot Beach Club stand out?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: Temporal Radios Wet Spot Beach Club is the REAL wet spot. We are friendly and welcome everyone. We have lots to offer as well as many VIPs at our events. We are respectful of people's decisions and welcome them with open arms.



SLE: Keeping people interested and engaged is the name of the game in Second Life. We wish you lasting success in this and the other virtual worlds you are in. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?


DJ Snaxx & Rebel Rayn: Don't just read this article and pass us by, come check us out and enjoy The REAL Wet Spot, we won't make you sleep in it!

Spotlight on Synful Club -The place to be for Live performances and Socializing- Lanai Jarrico Reporting…



Synful Club is a Mythical-themed venue located on a full sim owned and operated by Spirit Sapphire with the help of booking assistant Arisha DJ Flame. Together they put together an active venue with plenty to do like play games, and spend time with a date in one of the cuddle areas as well as host live performances with some of Second Life’s most talented musicians. Events happen every Friday and Saturday and biweekly on Sunday and Wednesday. SLE caught up with Spirit Sapphire and DJ Arisha to learn more about this beautiful venue.



Interview with Spirit Sapphire & Arisha/ Club Synful


SLE: Thank you both for taking the time to sit with us. Can you both give us a bit of a background of yourselves and how you discovered Second Life so our readers can get to know you better?

Spirit: I have been in SL for over 13.5 years when I first came I knew nothing about a 3D world this advanced I had come from a small place called IMVU. I had a good friend and someone I call my daughter that came with me and helped us both get started. She picked up on it much quicker than I did thank goodness.

Since then I have owned several clubs but nothing like Synful all the others were just clubs I didn't know anything about the live singers back then. So my club days have come a long way.

Arisha: I read about Sl in a magazine over 12 yrs ago, went to check it out met someone the first day, Babybell and she taught me all, made me a good-looking avatar, for those days, still have her in my friendslist, though she left years ago. Since then I did all kinds of things, Club owner, Host, Manager, and Auctioneer for horses. My first live performance was Guido Gitano, I was about 2 yrs his manager. In 2014 I started to DJ, and I still do that nowadays. So over the years, I learned many parts of the Music Scene in Second Life except performing lol. I keep learning and helping others if I can.

SLE: It still fascinates me to hear how people found their way to Second Life from all over the world, and how they get involved in the community. Can you tell us, how the two of you joined this business venture together?

Spirit: We met through mutual friends and I got to a point in the club where I needed an assistant none of my previous managers had worked out. Somehow Arisha decided she wanted to help me, Thank God and the rest is history I couldn't do it without her she is a great asset to the business and knows a lot of things that I never would have thought of.

Arisha: We knew each other from mutual Friends, at some point Spirit needed help with her Club and I offered to help her, this about 2 months ago, she said yes, though she didn't know yet what I could mean for her.... she knows now though :)

SLE: It sounds like you complement each other's talents and skills with Synful Club. Can you tell us the history of the club?

Spirit: Like I mentioned I had many clubs before Synful, I met someone that lead me to the live singers and from there I started Synful. I had a very good friend that came with me after a few months to SL as well and he passed away he has always been in my heart and therefore the club is named after him his name was Synner.

Arisha: I know Spirit started with a homestead, but this is really up to her to answer. Since I came in, we got new and more Performers, slowly made some changes on the sim and we keep working on new ideas.

SLE: I’m so sorry for your loss Spirit but I think it’s wonderful that you honor your friend in this way and it looks like you have great support from Arisha! Can you tell our readers why you believe your venue is unique and worth going to compared to the other venues on the grid?

Spirit: Synful is a fun place to be and has many things to do on the sim besides just listening to music. We have a games area and cuddle spots, the mystical theme is a lot of what we gave as the theme to the sim. We do events and special things all the time at the club to keep it fun and exciting.

Arisha: I guess it's something people need to experience, our place, themselves, to see if they feel happy here. We created a place that we believe in, the sim looks beautiful and our performers are awesome in their own way, we have variety in what they bring us, we have friendly staff, the hosts are super, and of course Michael, who snaps everyone on-camera...

SLE: Very nice. Arisha you said it very well. It is something people have to experience firsthand. What kind of events do you like to have at Synful Club?

Spirit: We had our 1 year Anniversary on September 14th from 4 to 6 PM SLT. We planned a Halloween Party with a dual stream with Maxamillion and Seth Regan We are getting together a theme night to have a night of 50's music 60's music all the way up to 2000. This will be one night a week until we are finished with the entire history of music just not sure of a starting date yet. We will also have a formal Christmas party on the sim and will start planning that soon.

Arisha: Well, of course, our regular performers, we have them now each Friday and Saturday and biweekly on Wednesday and Sunday. We start with special events now too, Sept 14, our first Anniversary Party, with Inkaku Capalini and Seth Regan ( Mankind Tracer), Sept 18 NeoMaximus Campfire Special, where he goes all acoustic.... and in the planning a special for Halloween...

SLE: Looks like you have a lineup of a lot of great things to come! Are you looking to hire anyone to help?

Spirit: Not at this time we are not in need of anyone we have a good family here that we work well together and complement each other in a very fun atmosphere.

Arisha: At the moment we are full, we have 23 regular Performers now and a few fill-ins all the regulars are Biweekly except Inkaku, she has her home at our Club, we have 4 lovely hosts and since recently we have had some Dancers for on Stage for those performers who like that :)

SLE: Wonderful. It sounds like you are handling things pretty well! Besides live music at Synful Club, what other activities do you offer on the sim?

Spirit: We have a Games area, Cuddle spots, and all types of things around the sim for people to do and see just come explore and find what fits you best.

Arisha: We working on ideas, to get people to come also to the sim when there is no music event, the sim itself has all kinds of decorations, places to hang out, and dance from PG to adult. We also have a game area, so they can come to play, voice is open when there aren't any live events. Photographers could find some nice spots too.

SLE: Synful Club has a little bit of something for everyone. Do you have a group or calendar people can join to stay up to date with events?

Arisha: Of course, we have our VIP group, there is a group inviter at the Club, and Facebook and Calendar of Events: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=synfullounge%40gmail.com&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles

SLE: Can you tell us both of you, Is Second Life just a game to you, or does it hold any extension of your real life here?

Spirit: No it is definitely not a game it is an extension of my real life I am the same person here I am in real life there is a person behind this avatar that loves to meet new people, make people happy and give them a place to enjoy themselves.

Arisha: For me, it's definitely not a game, U meet people from all over the world, and connect with them on different levels, people u wouldn't have met without SL, hearing their ideas, experiences, etc is cool. we keep learning and we put many hours into arranging all for the club, to make other people happy.

SLE: Well said. Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?

Spirit: Just that you should enjoy your time here don't get caught up in other people's drama make yourself a happy life here and learn all you can.

Arisha: Enjoy SL, learn from it, try new things, and stay with an open heart when u meet new people. If u never been to a Live Show, go and try it out, cause we have some amazing Performers in SL who spend lots of their time, and money to make u enjoy, and even feel like u are at a real-life live concert. I'm sure u also will find your favorite because they are in all kinds of genres to find :)
