As a teen, Lexie was tutored and studied hard on the tour busses, and was able to take her GED & acquire a degree in music, theatre, and the fine arts at the age of 16. At 17 she was asked to play lead guitar when Keith Richards didn’t show up for a concert in Stockholm. She played so well, that she was asked by the king of Sweden to play solo the following day at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. When President Jimmy Carter heard about this performance, he asked her to do an encore performance at the White House the following week. Finally The People From Perfect World Production’s Live N kickin invited her on the show.. then her career really took off! (SL Bio)

Americana. Zen Revnik at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater
Posted by: Delinda Dyrssen on: July 18, 2010
Tuesday July 20,10 on Live n Kickin.
Oklahoma City Singer- Songwriter Zen Revnik (John Randolph in real life)merges pop, rock, folk, americana, and jazz. His lyrics honestly explore the depths of depression, but with optimistic self-revelation. He writes about the complexities of relationships, a desire for
acceptance, and a longing for clarity. Using percussive rhythms and jazz progressions with accessible pop sensibilities, Randolph delivers expressive, Appalachian-tinged vocals.
Raised in the Mid-Ohio Valley, John Randolph was handed his father’s trumpet when he was only two years old and surprised his family with one perfect tone. “My parents were always very supportive of my music and made sure I had the tools to pursue it”, says Randolph. He grew up listening to his father’s Herb Alpert, Al Hurt, and Rafael Mendez records. In junior high school he discovered 1980’s contemporary jazz artists like Wynton Marsalis and Jeff Tyzik and the iconic Miles Davis, and Doc Severinson. He started writing songs and playing piano at sixteen, under the pop influence of Richard Marx, Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel.
In His early 20′s John picked up the guitar and listening to alternative bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Big Head Todd and The Monsters, and was inspired to form his first rock band, Mundane Rain. The group played predominately to the college crowd and the festival circuit.. more of John’s Bio on his website www.johnrandolph.com
“I feel that I have really only begun to scratch the surface of my songwriting abilities and feel I am always evolving as a musician. I love getting the opportunity to share my music and hope to inspire others the way I have been inspired.” ~John Randolph
Frank Lloyd Wright June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959
Frank Lloyd Wright was an american Architect whoinspired countless others. In 1991, the American Institute of Architects named Wright the greatest American architect of all time and Architectural Record published a list of the one hundred most important buildings of the previous century. Twelve Frank Lloyd Wright buildings appeared, includingFallingwater.

Sound Jewler MoShang Zhao In The Jewel Of A Sim China Tang Empire
This Week (July 13, 10) On Live N Kickin
Originally from South Africa, sound jeweler MoShang Zhao has been living in Taiwan since 2003 and became a “son-in-law of Taiwan” in 2009. He has released four full-length albums and an EP and has been featured on a number of compilation- and collaboration-albums. His most recent release is Suncake Lounge Vol. 1 with Australian guitarist, Chris Bailey. He is responsible for the Live Online Podcast in which he shares one of his live performances each week for free download. He has won a South African award for his music to a short-film, his music has been featured on the Discovery Channel, and one of his tracks is currently being distributed internationally with the Ubuntu operating system. More about Moshang at http://moshang.net and his Facebook page here.
Valor Renilo’s China Tang Empire sim was created to be a little window into the Chinese culture. Tang dynasty was the height, the Golden Age of ancient China. Today, we see parallel, the rise of another Golden Age. I thought a reminder of the past would be an interesting parallel. Valor says there are many people who he has met in SL who have yet to travel out of their own confines, be it their homes, their towns, their citiies, or their countries. For those who cannot explore the world, and who cannot see – aside from books and television, what lies beyond their backyards, SL is the perfect medium for them to embark on their explorations. And hence, the birth of China Tang.
“Although I have picked up Chinese (Mandarin) while growing up in Mahattan, it was not untl much later that I had the chance to spend a year and half in Beijing, China to fully immerse myself in an entirely Chinese environment – to learn the language, to know the people, and to scrape the tip of the cultural iceberg. I have always been enthralled by the Asian culture. My travels and work in different parts of Asia has enriched my experience, and at the same time, shown me how little I know, and how much there is still out there to be explored — and this underlines the motivation behind creating this sim”. ~Valor Renilo

This week June 28, 10 on Live n Kickin..
Moondoggirl Moomintoog (Jan Edwards in 1stlife) is originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, she cut her teeth on folk, lost her innocence to rock, and came of age with country. Her writing today reflects different country styles from pop to soul. In 2006 she moved from “the land of 10 thousand lakes,” to Nashville, Tennessee, “the land of 10 thousand songwriters,” to focus on her writing.
When asked to describe her own music she’d tell you it will groove, bruise and move you…it’s a real mix of country twang with fangs! If you ask her who her influences are, you will be surprised to learn she has a love for nearly every imaginable genre of music, and they all come through in her writing. They range from Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Sheryl Crow, Waylon Jennings and The Outlaws, Emmylou Harris, Bobbie Gentry and Dusty Springfield, Elvis Costello, Jonatha Brooke, Lyle Lovett, The Beatles, Patsy Cline, Billie Holliday and all the old jazz standards, and she says, “now there are so many new country influences too numerous to mention…” more athttp://www.myspace.com/janedwardsmusic

World Class Solo Pianist Louis Volare In Visiwa With A International Mix Of Italy, France And South Africa..
This Week June 29, 10 On Live N Kickin.
~Photo by Trica Aferdita
Louis Volare (Louis Landon in 1st life’s) musical range as a pianist has been highlighted over the years performing and touring with such mainstream names and international icons as Mikhail Baryshnikov, John Payne, Rupert Holmes, and John Hall. From classical repertoire to jazz, pop and rock, Landon has used his expressive gifts and talent to his full advantage for others. Now on a mission as a solo pianist, Landon’s intrinsic gifts fulfill a new purpose in a different genre, while integrating many ideals from the past.
Peacekeeper is the muse most recently peering over Landon’s shoulder as he upholds a passionate belief that music is the most significant and likely medium to bring peace and harmony to a weary, and war-torn world. He realized a few years ago, stylistically it’s his own music – the solo compositions that bring him so much joy and peace – that resonates deeply with his audience.
Louis Landon’s solo piano project: Improvs for Peace. This was started on June 2, 2008 and will continue until the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over and the troops come home. At least once a week , a new Improv for Peace will be posted on FileDEN for free download. Find out more about Louis athttp://www.louislandon.com/
For a musician like Louis we had to find a location with an international kinda ”world feel” to it and thats why we chose Visiwa vee-see-wa “The Islands”. Particualry the Coastal Village of Kijiji with its beautifully blended mixture of Italy, France and South Africa is the centerpiece of The Secondlife Showcased development of “Club Visiwa Estate”. When you visit Kijiji and walk the narrow european streets and canals it feels like your on a Virtual Holiday and you can almost smell the bread baking in a corner bakery.

Here is an interesting bit about Visiwa from their website.. “Most of the content you will experience here is unique and built by us. A good example is our extremely realistic OceanTek realistic Ocean Technology, the movement in the surf waves is random and unpredicted with both forward and backwash movement all at no lag, while the shorewaves have realistic shore wave action starting with a roll at the waterline, and running up onto the beach. Visit the public beach and enjoy the technology that you cannot see anywhere else – only in SL™, and only at Visiwa.” http://www.visiwa.com/

- True-Lie #1 “I play acoustic folkjazzbluescountryrock — they tell me I’m not quite like anybody else, and I never know what’s going to come out next. I just hope you enjoy it as much as I do”
- TrueLie #2 ” I’m extroverted introvert singing baby beatnik Jufi mystic mad hippie violinist computer nerd performing songwriter. I still think having fun is good for me, good for you, good for the world, and so is having an honest cry or an angry wail. I love fiction and hate lies; I tell the truth, thinly disguised.”

What happens when you mix Dr. Seuss, Van Gogh, and Antoni Gaudi? You might get a taste of Scottius Polke! But don’t let the influences fool you — Scottius definitely projects a unique voice.
From the initial landing point of Scottius’ latest work,Lunamaruna, his personality immediately emerges through the fantastical landscape: the hand-illustrated and highly stylized textures, the curvaceous structures, the sense of humor in details, and a joy in the discovery of the unexpected.
If you are familiar with Scottius Polke’s art, then you might recognize similarities from his previous installation, mushROOM. In both works his colors are rich and saturated, and the textures are all hand-stylized with a kind of comic aesthetic. Where Lunamaruna differs is in the overall scale and artistic vision – this is not a room, but a whole village – and the details tell an intriguing, perhaps even ominous story and a perfect match for Musician singer/ songwriter.. TrueLie Telling.
