A Classic SL Serial, direct from Seraph City... presenting... The Knight of the Sky!

As I wandered the streets of Searph City, I came across a news-stand which was selling an eye catching series of adventures of the intrepid adventurer known as the "Knight of the Sky, the two-fisted champion of the Stratosphere"!  Picking up a copy, I was intrigued at the amazing adventures of Captain Creighton, including his brave fights and superlative escapes from certain death!

Harkening back to the classic serials of the 1930's, Mr. Creighton has done an outstanding job in re-creating in Second Life a classic 1930's cliffhanger / serial adventure.  He was kind enough to allow the posting of his series on the SL Jazz After Midnight... and if you wish to read more of the adventures of the Knight of the Sky, do stop by his skyscraper in Searph City, for the rest of issue one, and the next two installments!

Jazz Radio: The Global Swing Broadcast

I've found myself listening to more Jazz over the internet as time goes by - a larger selection of great music to enjoy, especially when one has to finish up a bit of writing.  However, many great stations fail to garner the recognition they so rightly deserve, soo... as my bit to help shine the spotlight, I'm highlight a few of these!  I'm starting off with a wonderful station emanating from Europe, if I'm correct... the Global Swing Broadcast!  In addition to excellent classic swing music, they have an superlative selection of Jazz music.  Ttheir website has a complete playlist, so you'll be up-to-date on their goings on!  For more information, their website, and facebook pages...

(Noted a few minutes ago that the fellows at Dieselpunks.org are again ahead of the curve (or at least ahead of me)!  Mr. Tome Wilson was kind enough to find the stream address so... for those in SL, here is it is, in case you wish to add it to your musical selections...)

The Seraph City Wikipedia

As part of the effort to re-kindle some activity in Seraph City, I've stared a Wiki for SC, with the idea of providing a dedicated and interactive website for the sim.  Its still in its *very early* stages (as a visit will tell), but I hope to have it polished up by late March.  If you'd like to contribute, please simply leave a comment here, and I'll be more than happy to add you!  And, the website is at: http://seraphcity.wikia.com/wiki/Seraph_City_Wiki

A refocus to the SL Jazz After Midnight - More classic Jazz, more Dieselpunk genre... but what does that mean?

"How to write a noir novel", by ~stefanparis

I've been doing a lot of introspective searching on how I'm spending my time, and decided to make a few challenging but necessary choices.  Aside from culling the number of blogs I"m involved with (those who know, say that over eight is too many... so I guess I have too many)!  As such, I've decided to keep the SL JAM, but its focus will be changed a bit... less on SL Jazz clubs, and more on the Jazz era genre.  What does that mean?, well....

1) I'll be spending more item with SL sims, events, and other things related to the Dieselpunk era - in other words, from the 1920's to the late 1940's.  There is plenty to see in SL regarding this, and though not as popular as other genres (atm, anyways), I'd like to bring them to the forefront.

2) I will focus less on the general SL Jazz scene, and more on venues that promote the "classic" Jazz era (again, the Jazz music from the 1920s to the 1940's).  There aren't as many, but most that exist in SL are quite good, and worth a visit.

3) I'll be adding more about my home sim of Searph City.  Its been dormant for ages now, and perhaps a bit of attention will help it move ever-so-slightly from its slumber.  Hence, the blog will be re-worked towards this goal.

Over the next few months, I'll be adding more (as expected), but there will be some big announcements regarding a few things.  As such, make it a point of considering the SL JAM your SL Jazz and Dieselpunk him, and Abyssinia!
