We can talk about lefty Unplugged in a moment and we definitely will but here is someone else who brings immense passion to Cat's Art MusikCircus.
Cat Boucher has done more for progressive music other than playing it herself than anyone I have ever known in Second Life ... or anywhere, for that matter. Don't define progressive music as meaning only prog rock. Prog is very cool stuff but music progresses in many directions at once and Cat wants to know all of them.
If you think she does it for money, get a grip on yer reality, Walt. She doesn't take anything out of Second Life. There is news, however. Cat has been breeding some rare, um, cats and they are in very high demand. Keeping the music alive, she does. Talk to her about kittens and, yes, they do breed in Second Life.
She won't look like that in the next pic but, hey, neither will I. Always keeping it moving.
The passion, the spirit, the Necromancer, all magical things come to the same thing in how you deliver that set and where you do it. lefty Unplugged is an incredible study in reservation and wild release. When he sings "Blacker Than," he's screaming it and, looking at him, you would never guess he screams anything. This is not from some mystical Muse dancing about in some wraith-like way as lefty has lived and written everything he performs. He sings of something he saw in his life that moved him enough to write a song about it and take a good deal of time doing it. This is what drives the passion and you know immediately he feels it.
Where lefty Unplugged shows reservation is in his guitar playing as he brings to a song precisely what it needs ... and sometimes maybe more if the moment needs it. He doesn't just strum chords, he makes them breathe and the air makes them catch fire. If you listen closely, you will hear him throw notes picked from the chords in delicious ways but he does that just enough. The delicacy of that is fascinating.
The dynamics of a song are extremely important to a song as the opposite is turning all the knobs to ten and blazing until people go deaf or they leave. The dynamic is bringing it up and back down and, most of all, how smoothly you do it. When Sonya Jevette sings 'the bigger the wobbly, wobbly, the better the buttahhhhh' ... well, that smooth, very, very smooth.
