A lot of the news coverage about Second Life tends more toward reporting on the negative aspects of SL, sensationalizing and trying to go for the “shock value”, so when a positive news report comes out it tends to stand out.
Recently, one such report came out via CNN and I wanted to highlight it.
In the almost 2 years that I’ve been in Second Life, I’ve met a variety of people from around the globe from various backgrounds. One of those people has been Cylindrian Rutabaga, a.k.a. Grace Buford.
Cylindrian is a singer and musician who performs live in Second Life, playing in various venues around the grid. I’ve been able to make it to a couple of her concerts in Second Life which prompted me to buy her album River on Amazon.com (and will probably buy her other two albums Living Stories and Virtually Live eventually). Her music genre is folk music, so if you like that kind of music, then you should definitely check out Cylindrian’s stuff on Amazon or iTunes.
Here is the text article that goes with the video.
