Sonya Jevette Battles the Terminator!

Sonya Jevette came back last night for her Thursday night show at Cat's Art MusikCircus.  Sonya broadcasts from Dallas and that really is a picture of Dallas behind her.  There were lots of hats last night so let's give a hat tip to Veronica Weksler, a lady who sings those bluez in Second Life, as she was in the audience for the show.


Unlike CNN, my credibility in reporting is important to me and I'm not going to tell you it was a good show when it wasn't.  Sonya Jevette has always delivered wonderful sound with beautiful singing and her guitar keeping it pumped ... but last night the Demons of Technology came out to chew her up.

Yesterday I reported on the flood that filled the Mediterranean and how there may have been a wave that was as much as a mile high (About the Earthquakes).  That's how it feels when a gig starts getting away from you, like a mile-high wave is coming right for you and all you want to do is find some high ground so you will at least make it to the end of the gig when you can fix things!  I know as I've done hundreds of gigs in Second Life and sometimes the plan just doesn't work!

So please do cut Sonya some slack on this show.  I tell you she has a beautiful voice and she adds the perfect touch of vibrato to it while playing her own accompaniment on the guitar with breaks into lead runs to keep it hot.  In every other show before this one, the sound was excellent but the technology ran amok last night and I promise you she gives a much better show than that.  You can hear for yourself that what I tell you is true by visiting her Sonya Jevette Web site  and you can listen to her music for free there.

Here is a video of Sonya performing "Whenever You're Around" and it's from a live online show so  it will give you a much better idea than my words of what Sonya really sounds like.



Regardless of any audio troubles, the "Big Girls" song was the highlight of the show last night and here are the pictures!


From left to right, Jenny Valerian, Yevette Nishi, Medora Chevalier, Sonya Jevette, GMinteractive, Desire Jacques  (Thanks to Yevette for the picture!)

With so many on the stage, you can't see them so well so here are close-ups:


Jenny Valerian



Yevette Nishi



Medora Chevalier and, yes, she is poppin' that gum.  It's as much part of the song as getting up on the dance floor to get your wobbly wobbly to move some!



GMinteractive

You don't have to be a woman to dancing with Sonya as everyone is welcome to get the wobbly wobbly moving!



Desire Jacques, Peace Minister

Desire also writes a blog and you can visit it at Days of Desire:  A Virtual Life.  (Give the page time to load as it looks like the images are full-resolution PNG format and she has some great ones)


And there's one more!  I missed 1Diane on the stage but I got a picture afterwards.


1Diane shaking it on the sawdust!


And Cat and I danced!


Oh, you like the hat?  Yah, me too ... and we went out to get more of them after the show!
